as far as the declawing....... i can understand that (i dont know how painful it is) but my friend had her cat declawed after she had a baby (it was a good thing too, it turned out the cat was extremely jealous of the new baby)..... a docked tail i dont really care about, adn i prefer floppy ears..... so..... i do know that some yorkies get declawed (especially the dew claw) and i actually asked my breeder if he did this with his yorkies,.... the dew claw can grow so much that it curles around and grows into the skin if it is not taken care of properly... and you
do not have to be a irresponsible pet owner to have this happen!! the nails grow pretty fast (toby's nails were ok, and then i checked him a FEW DAYS later, adn he almost has his dew claw piercing his skin
)
I think the conflict lies in the differnces of culture, it would be extremely hard to pass a law banning docked tails in the U.S. AND we have that organization called PETA and a few other animal rights groups that are very dedicated to animal rights, and as far as i know THEY havent even thought it necessary to go "anti docking" publicly...... i can understand your position even more so considering you dont even have that many people circumsized even (great comaprison by the way), but again, just because these arent the way you do things doesnt necessarily mean that it is wrong....
Keep in mind i am impartial and have no opinion really on either side of the matter, but i do see the reason in both sides.....
Now, how in the world do you dock the tails yorkierose???
