Being the type of person I am I like to argue at times just for the mere fun of it... So with that being said
I know in England you can not dock tails but here in the US it is the norm.. Is it painful well yea I beat it is and does it serve a propose? We remove their tumbs or should i say dewclaws... has it been proven there is a need for this?? no not really. Nope just looks cute same as ears on a pit being cut. Dogs are tattooed if fixed and sometimes as making for ID.. Microchips still have not been proved if they cause cancer or not in animals and I know my body has decided to reject the pins and screws in my knees after 5 years causing pain so how do we know those chips do not do the same?? In my city is it againt the law to dye an animal UNLESSi can show proof that it is a special dye made for dogs that is pet friendly. I am pretty sure sticking a hot branding iron to a cows butt does not feel the greatest but they do that!
So with all that being said if you have a tail docked dewclaw removed puppy that is well taken care what right do you have to tell a ears pierced puppy owner that spoils and takes care of their pet they have no right to do that???
