A C-section can save a life and take a life..tail docking is so far down on the list of "trouble makers"..but I do understand people being opposed to it.

One thing for sure..once you cut the tail off, the dog will never have to go through it again...and I have known breeders who do 5 and 6 sections before spaying.
I have to agree Pat.

I wasn't really comparing a c-section to tail docking but more the use of the word "cruel" in each situation. Tail docking w/o anesthesia is very very painful and these are tiny innocent babies so , in my mind, it is cruel. C-sectioning is done under anesthesia so I don't consider it as "cruel" necessarily but I could see where the discomfort afterward as well as it being done repeatedly could become cruel.
