Re: Tail Docking!
I genuinely feel sickened having read some of these posts supporting tail docking. It seems that despite animal welfare organisations, and the support of veterinary surgeons, and given the chance, the dogs themselves, some people still support it!

I only wish that dogs could talk! But then I doubt their pleas to remain intact would make any difference!

Get some information from non-subjective sources.

Puppies don't feel the pain, they havent developed the nervous pain system.
Not many animals eat when in pain...
Ever seen a puppy not feed due to having a tail docked?

I don't believe the tail is the only way of communication.
you really are talking crap, i have had first hand experience with this where a very good friend of mine had a litter docked (against any opinion of mine) everyone screamed they all got infections and the mother rejected them, brilliant start in life

Re: Tail Docking!
One experience for all is it?I talk crap on the basis of your 1 first hand experience. Very narrow minded indeed.I hope you don;t base your opinions on life in the same way.

Sounds like the vet/your friend seriously messed it up i.e. cut it very short in length and probably did it after the pupps were 2 - 3 days old.

Re: Tail Docking!
Obviously on topics such as this there are people who are for it and against and neither party will change their views based on what the other people think. I think its just best to accept that people have different views on different subjects based on their own personal experiences

I dont really want people to start arguing in this thread.

Re: Tail Docking!
Mark is right.. debate is healthy but people shouldn't be arguing! We all have different views and we should respect those views of eachother. Dont get personal!

Re: Tail Docking!
Yup debates like this are personal, and can turn into arguing pretty quickly.

Anti-dockers got their ban, so they can be pleased. I hope all lay by dockers get fined as punished etc as it is illegal here in the UK so should be respected.

Where it is legal I will still support a breeders/owners right to dock.

Re: Tail Docking!
Agreed with Loe on that one - they deserved the sack.
Did your friend report the vet?
Seen as Vets can and will dock working dogs then they should be doing it the right way!!!! Anyone who is not happy with the dock on their own dogs should report them!
The pain caused to the little ones was solely due to the vet carrying out the procedure wrongly.
