Ear cropping and tail docking are age-old procedures done on some purebred
dog. However, they have become increasingly taboo in today's society. Many
veterinary groups disapprove of cosmetic procedures on dogs, and they are
even banned in some countries.
Where do you stand? Are ear cropping and tail docking inhumane and
unnecessary, or are they harmless procedures that uphold the integrity of certain
dog breeds? Should they be banned or not?
