How much of a choice does the poor dog get??? I feel sooo sorry you :wacko: Surely "to ban or not to ban" should be down to the facts of what is better for the dog in a lifetime? I hate censorship, I hate having to follow rules but if these things are set out & there to protect an animal, I...

Kris, i feel you're starting to bully me, i feel i'm being abused by you in fact :D people either listen to me or don't it's up to them, there is nothing personal as far as i'm concerned, i like heated discussions more than happy nicey nice, "oh yeah I suppose your right, but don't you...

It's clear that some people advocating docking of pets tails are just not educated in such things. This has been clarified by some of the recent unintelligent posts. Phantom dew claws? Yeah dead funny, hope you made yourself laugh. In comparison to a dogs tail there are very few nerve endings in...

I fed up with people not reading what I've already written, I stated that I think certain breeds of working dogs need their tails docked. I'm only arguing against people who dock their pets tails.

I think the horrible thing here is the fact that it's always been done with some breeds and obviousley a lot of breeders/owners of these docked breeds are going to be conservative about such things. I don't see any harm in letting such a thing go in pets. The animal is born with a tail. You can...

Lets cut pups legs off because the pup will go through less pain than an adult that breaks their leg. What I've just said is Just a little more idiotic than what you posted. And about you being able to assure me of your dogs not suffering any pain - read my previous posts. :thumbsup:

I still have not heard one argument for the docking of tails, I have already stated I think certain working dogs should have their tails docked, but still have not heard one person come out with a valid argument. And by the way - just because an issue is less significant than other issues...

My dad had his leg amputated due to having cancer, now he doesn't have much pain from the amputation, but he does have phantom pain occasionally. This is very sore for him and I can see him in quite a bit of discomfort. Like I said it happens like mabye once a month or whatever. It happens...

I can understand getting dew claws removed, I can understand a dogs tail being docked - but there is absolutly no need for the tail being docked on a pet. Fact is it's mainly down to tradition & asthetics - you can't argue that. It doesn't matter if the dog suffers pain or doesn't feel a thing...
