Why? To make your dog look like everyone elses? To look mean and scary?
I'm in the, "if they were sposed to look like that they'd have been born looking that way" group. If it's a medical necessity it's one thing, but unless amputation is needed to save the life or health, it's mutilation.

To keep the motherfuckers from whipping me in the balls every 7 seconds with their 8lb tails, to keep them from clearing the coffee table every time they spin around to scratch their ass... And cause it looks cool. Back in the day it was done for a variety of reasons and it's done now for aesthetic purposes to continue the breed standard. I wouldn't hesitate to do it to my dog, provided they were of proper age... just like I won't hesitate to have my son circumcised. |

Good argument.
 I hear ya on the tail thing, however I still wouldnt do that unless my dog was having a real issue. Alot of the breeds, like pits and such have theirs done because with the whiplike quality they of them they beat them against hard surfaces and end up with sores, abcesses and can do major nerve damage. Other breeds like terriers used for hunting were done to prevent the prey they were after from getting ahold of them. Since most breeds are no longer used for those purposes I just dont see the point. Trip, the difference being, we make our own choice to do things like tats, boobs or piercings. When's the last time you family pet asked you to chop his ears off?

It's not like it's painful for them for long after. We do a lot of horrible shit in the name of appearance. |

I can't help it your parents didnt give ya'll the choice.  Isn't the main reason boys are cut is hygiene reasons? Thats what I've always been told, unless its religion. I am sure when I have a son I will become that parent, as we will have him cut, but if I have a girl, she'll get her ears pierced when she's ready to tell me she wants it.

I agree with my parents choice and would do the same. Main reason is religion for circumcision or appearance. Hygene isn't that much of an issue with all our fancy soaps and showers. |

No, but I can still share my thoughts and opinions just like you can.
