if anyone should know if it hurts i would say a vet would.and as for the baby thing id say that hurts aswell. it comes down to whats seen as normal i guess,a few years ago i never saw anything wrong with docking either problely as it was just seen as normal to have it done and not normal to NOT have it done,but now in the uk its not the normal thing to have done. things change over years and so do peoples views,a few years ago dog fighting was seen as normal and now its seen as a horrible thing to do(which im glad) so maybe in a few years time docking a tail in the usa will not be the norm and people will see it how the people in the uk see it.
