OT I hate it when they dock doberman tails and ears

[Guest guest]

hi I got a few things to say first of all adelphia screwed me big

time at 4am monday the 6th which was my bday no less my puter cable

service went out and stayed out for a week cause they were doing

stupid upgrades that went bad big time too bad these companies never

heard the saying " if it works dont fix it " . I would have much more

colorful comments to say but I dont want PT to bust my ass and boot

me lol.

ok the next thing I wanted to talk about is animal rights especially

dobermans and rottweilers. I think its so lame that people cut off

their tails and ears just for show or whatever. in denmark several

years back they actually made it illegal to cut tails and ears.

Fifi who is a dj at LHR http://livehardrock.com showed me these sites

that have both a rottweiler and a doberman ears and tails intact

unfortunately both sites are in danish but you can see those dogs

look so much happier compared to the typical threatening looks those

dogs usually have. food for thought stay cool, Dave pbf

that's one thing dave, you and i will both agree on for once. :-) i do not

agree with docking ears and tails just to conform to AKC breed standards in the

show ring. I view it pretty much in the same area as declawing. I considered

having my cat declawed when i got her, but when i started doing research into it

to see what it entailed (this was my first cat), i decided against it. i went

with the softpaws nailcaps instead because fannycat is almost always an indoor

cat save for when i take her outside on her kitty leash, and she doesn't scratch

on my furniture at all. i show her her little corrugated cardboard scratch box

and she starts working away on that, i saw no reason to put her through what

tantamounted to ten digit amputations for the sake of saivng my furniture. if i

get cats in the future, i will not have mine declawed.

 

i'm also blessed in that my itty bitty kitty actually tolerates me handling her

paws so i can clip them myself. good thing considering how fast her claws

grow. and they're clear/white so i can see where the vein is & not worry about

having a face full of scratches because i cut the quick by accident. *grin*

Sorry about your cable woes. I only wish I had cable for

my internet connection. Oh well, won't complain, I get it

for free.

Happy B-day, Dave! My eldest child celebrated her's on

the 10th; nice time of year for a b-day.

 

I couldn't agree more about docking the tails and ears of

dogs. I have two Jack Russell terriers and they have it

illegal to dock them in Ireland and England, but here it is

still legal and many breeders do it. Poor dogs...
