Breaking the tail is extremely painful and dangerous, a broken tail doesn’t not heal well and often results in complete amputation of the tail including the butt muscle. So were not just talking about a "little" damage. I worry more about breeders breeding without any knowledge and probably no health testing and then using this as a selling feature. If we want to eliminate all pain, we probably should ban breeding. |
Well Khloe has her dew claws as well and hasn't had any issues... But I understand that she is not all dogs.
I know there are worse things that happen to dogs like breeding without health testing, but we are talking about docking. I don't believe in cutting off a body part that an animal is born with just because it may get hurt. I also don't believe in infant circumcision, so that shows you where I stand
