tail docking and declawing
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/loca...p-122499c.html
In the version of this story that ran locally, the lawyer for the breed group said labeling tail docking as cruel was as silly as saying declawing cats is cruel. I guess she doesn't realize that declawing *is* cruel. I hope that this man wins his case because it may open the door to similar rulings about whether declawing falls under state animal cruelty laws. |

I could never understand why these people think it appropriate to cut dog's ears and tails to fit some "standard." Animal mutilation definitely needs to be banned Lauren ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |

Animal mutilation definitely needs to be banned I'm with you for non-sporting breeds (ie, Dobie, Rottie, etc), but after I saw an undocked Springer Spaniel after a day of hunting in the dense brush, I changed my mind about docking for sporting breeds. The poor boy's tail was beaten bloody, with tatters of skin hanging off. He was of course rushed to the vet, and ended up having his tail amputated because of the damage. Hunting dogs just get so into what they are doing that they don't notice that they are smacking their poor tails into shreds. I know, you'd think the pain would stop them, but it doesn't.
