I dun know much about ear cropping. I would say we should get a little bit educated abt it. But either tail docking or ear cropping, it should not be banned and it should be keep as an optional choice by a buyer. Of course, it should be carry out by a experience breeder or vet. Another quote: Is docking cruel? Docking is carried out when puppies are tiny. Their eyes are not yet open and long experience indicates that carried out correctly, the procedure causes no pain or discomfort. Indeed, some puppies which are docked whilst they are asleep, do not even wake up. After docking, puppies will immediately return to their dam to feed, and there is no evidence that development or weight gain is in any way arrested by the docking procedure. Nor does a dog which has been docked as a puppy have any problems with balance or communication. If, however, tail damage occurs during adulthood and docking has to be carried out for therapeutic reasons, normally under anaesthetic, a dog can be seriously distressed and the healing process can be painful and protracted.
