I'll go out on a limb here.... His dog, his choice. He didn't abuse the dog... It's no worse than having a dog put to sleep to have its teeth removed, its uterus cut out or it's testicles snipped, yet people don't bat an eye to have that done. No one thinks twice about docking tails or removing dew claws...or injecting a pellet under their skin for ID purposes.
Like I said, his dog, his choice. |
There are heath benefits to spaying and neutering, as well as dentals and microchip implanting. Docking ears and tails is a different story but could be argued, however there are benefits to some dogs having dewclaws removed.
But what is the benefit of having his dog tattooed with a large tat like that? I suppose you could argue for ID purposes, but really, did he have to do it like that?
And have you ever had a large tattoo before? The healing time is worse than the actual tattoo. Must have been torture for the dog to not be able to lick and scratch that.
