#19: Barry - Actual text of the Act

Well spotted Barry but the Minister can issue a regulation which permits certain procedures to be carried out, and it is now known that he plans to issue a regulation to permit tail docking of working breeds by non-vets. So this petition is in fact timely and appropriate.

Sorry but no, when we stopped docking many of our clients with gun dogs continued to work the dogs and in 19 yrs I never saw or heard of tail damage in our area apart from a great dane who damaged its tail from wagging it to hard and smashing it on the table.
