I cannot believe what I am reading. Are we going back in time? At the moment people are still docking the tails of puppies and dogs without any anaesthetic and causing horrific pain, sometimes even death when infections set in, and you want to make this legal. If you look through the ages you will see that nationalities who are cruel to animals inevitably are cruel to humans. They lose empathy. I think that this country is heading in the wrong direction. If you can be cruel to an animal, you can be cruel to anyone and anything, it hardens you. We should be teaching our children that cruelty of any kind is wrong. This was stopped for a reason, that reason has not changed. It's always the same. Ban Tail docking completely, it is totally unnecessary.
