Docking of dogs tails are usually done by the breeder and are done at such an early age that there is no bone in the tail yet and the dog does not suffer any pain. I am however against cropping of dogs ears, even if it is a common practice. Cats on the other hand need to be left the fuck alone. This psycho bitch needs to be punctured a few times..... with a mid-evil sword, right in the fucking ovaries.

No bone yet

Who told you this BS? A breeder?

Unless it's for health reason, I hope cropping and docking will be banned.

In Europe it's mostly illegal to crop and dock, and you are banned from showing dogs that have it done in shows....

Yes a breeder told me. Check out these pages. http://www.netpets.org/dogs/healthspa/case4dock.html and http://www.cdb.org/what_is.htm

They don't mention anything about whether the tail bone is present or not and not being a vet I don't know for sure, but it is a breed standard for many dogs and I'm ok with that.

Dude, the tail is a bone. No bone = No tail.

That being said I would not support the banning of tail docking because I do believe there are legitimate reasons to dock a tail for certain working dogs. For example, if my Boxer/Mastiff had a tail proportionate to his body he would be too long to pull a cart without elongating the poles, which would throw off the balance point that keeps the weight off his back and shoulders.

And THAT being said, if I would've had a choice I would not have docked his tail.

Amen to that. The only gauging that should be done to a cat should be with a 10gauge at the minimum

Yeah the AKC is now allowing uncropped ears on some breeds in dog shows. Like Boxers for example. Docked tails are still mandatory though.
