That's just the point though, dogs AREN'T as nature intended them, they're as MAN intended them. If they were as nature intended they'd all be wolves. And they weren't created that way simply because man had the option of snipping the tails off. If he hadn't had that option from the start he would have selectively bred for short tails from the beginning.

It's the idiots who dock the tails badly and at the wrong age/by the wrong method that ruin it for everyone who does it responsibly. They're the ones that give the animal rights nutcases fodder.

Have governments nothing better to do than to concern themselves with dogs' tails? What about healthcare, education, wars, economy, poverty...? No, sorry, we'd rather worry about dogs' tails, thanks.
