I agree with you. But if I were you, if I ever got a female dog, or was going to let my male dog around a female, I would get him neutered first. Yes, it might be painful, but think of how many puppies and strays and dogs in shelters there are. They need homes. We don’t need to bring more puppies to the world when so many already need homes. Same with cats, especially if they’re outdoor cats. (Also, if your male cat/dog impregnates a female that’s not yours, I don’t think the owner would want puppies/kittens. They might even kill them if they don’t want them.) I have a female cat and she got pregnant because people were inconsiderate and didn’t neuter their cat. We were planning on waiting till she wasn’t a kitten anymore for her surgery, but then she got pregnant. She’s spayed now.

Yes, I completely agree. I feel like ear cropping and tail docking are unnecessary, painful, and extremely sad 🙁

No one is taking a woman to a plastic surgeon without her knowledge and forcibly putting implants in her. Women choose that for themselves. Humans have higher thinking abilities and can weigh the choices and make them on their own. Dogs don’t get to choose if you cut them up or not. So we should use our higher thinking brains and only do it when it is beneficial to our animals.

Actually, this article doesn’t “shame” people. It even lists different crop styles and how and who does them. You reacting in an overly sensitive way is telling. It sounds way more like you know doing an elective surgery on an animal is your vanity and needless. You want to feel ok with cutting up your dog and having it recover from a painful surgery that isn’t necessary…because it looks cool to you. I will shame you. You do this to your human family members? Did you have your babies’ ear lobes cut and fused to their skulls because attached lobes look better to you? You remove or alter your elderly parents body parts because you think if they were different they would look better? Probably not. You don’t have to take this article’s advice and no one named you personally in it so why you taking so personally ? Not sure why you need to whine into the void or state the obvious: your dog is your dog. No one said it wasn’t. SMH

It’s not a opinions if they are reasons as to it. A opinion is “cake is better than ice cream” if you believe their is not a single thing wrong with this, get help. Poor dog

I have had 5 Doberman all with their ears cropped. I seen no signs of pain. If I thought that they were in pain I would absolutely not have their ears cropped. Love them💕☮️

Australia banned ear cropping and tail docking (on horses as well) in the early 2000’s. We shouldn’t be able to cause pain and risk to an animal simply to change its look..
