For one thing, part of a tail is not a limb and if anything a dew claw would be considered a digit and not a limb. Limbs are arms and legs. As I said before there is no bone or hard connective tissue on 3 day old puppies as there would be on an adult. Humans do far worse things to their bodies. As far as surgery goes in removing organs.....it may not hurt during surgery but it sure as heck does afterward. They send a dog home on a few pills equal to some Advil if anything. Maybe a Tramadol that only makes them groggy for a longer length of time.
It would seem that surgically removing the foreskin of a male baby without anesthetic would be considered inhumane. They are humans and yet it is done everyday. And have you seen a guy after a vasectomy?
I'm not saying that the puppies do not have some pain for a short time but it is certainly not near what an amputation involves.
