It's Cruelty

This litter of Boxer pups was surrendered to the Hertford County Animal Shelter. The owner thought it would be a good idea to dock these animals' tails. He used rubberbands. WARNING! This video may make your blood boil and your stomach sick as it did PAWS volunteers.

wait..Rubberbands???That's discusting!!Were the owners arrested for animal abuse?!

[PAWSofHertfordCounty]

@TheDestane Unfortunately the owners were not charged with cruelty. In our opinion, he should have been. He dropped the litter of puppies off at the shelter (thank goodness), and left before anyone could determine his identity.

@Alexmartin9495 We are a 100% volunteer humane society that works in the county shelter to provide vet care, spay/neuter/ & more humane conditions for the animals. We have found homes for 5,000 homeless shelter dogs/cats in the past 4.5 yrs.  The purpose of this video is educate the public about animal cruelty. We took the time to save this puppy's life and find it a good home. I hope this helps clear things up for you. Thank you for watching our video.

@mrjoshdalove

Thank you for inquiring. This particular puppy was saved. His nub was completely removed by a veterinarian, and he was adopted. His name is Bob!

People claim dogs can hurt there tails and even break it when they leave it on.

So be it! I rather have my dog break his tail then totally removing it.

People think the docked ears and tails make the dog look cooler and more violent!

I just hate it, and the people who do it, should be ashamed of themself.

My jack russel has it's tail and compared to other docked jack's, my dog is by far the better looking one.

Beautifull curfed tails, how can you remove them!???

[sheburnedmedown]

every dog should have a tail to tell

[ginamaltese]

@TheDestane So glad to hear that!

[TheDestane]

@ginamaltese Trust me, I'm against the mutation of an animal's body (docking of the ears/tail).

[ginamaltese]

@TheDestane ...rubber bands are horrible but any unnecessary amputation of a bodypart is called MUTILATION...think about the WHOLE picture, please! (just in case you ever got an animal whose tail you chose to "dock", even by a vet). It's all abuse!

[daccardo88]

How can docking not be abuse?? When your intentionally removing a part of an animal that they were born with for aesthetic reasons, that would be cruelty. You know how you prevent "dew claws" from being broken on fences and broken while playing?? You monitor your dog...just like you do when you have kids. It's called being a good pet owner. And If I told you that cutting off your kids ears would make her look better..would you do it. I'm guessing the answer to that would be no.

@SW20mr2mikey

It's not like the dog asks you to cut of the tail. people who got piercings/tattoos is a totally different thing.

I get what you mean, It doesn't hurt if done professionally.

But atleast have a reason to do so, many people do it for looks.

And it's certainly a big deal if there is no reason to remove a body part.

There are better reasons, like for hunting dogs or any "working" dog.

[SW20mr2mikey]

to argue about what dogs should and shouldnt have done to it is like telling a human he should or shouldnt get peirceing or tatoos, if its done properly its not an isue, i never said dogs breaking there tails is an isue thats just an excuse stupid people use to justify there decision@xxjonkoxx humans are sometimes born with tails FYI doctors also amputate with no anesthesia because an newborn child should not have opiods or pain killers in their system, its not a big deal leave it to the pros

[SW20mr2mikey]

@xxjonkoxx look at this video as an example, every dog has a docked tail, but yet they are play fighting with eatchother, they are not in pain you can tell, however, the one with the tail that was still partley atatched was in incredible pain, you can tell just by looking at its face, the ignorance of the person doing the docking is to blame, it should have been done profetionally or surgically to say the least,

[xxjonkoxx]

@SW20mr2mikey

Stop talking, docking the tale of a dog is just sad, and it's true, I might be a little crybaby if its about cutting of ears and tails for no reasons.

There is simply no reason to do it, unless a doctor tells you to.

You have simply no idea what you are talking about, pain is part of life, I broke my leg, and know how much pain that causes, yet I dont see people cutting of their legs bcuz there might be a chance that you break the leg, dont even respond back, you are sad.

[SW20mr2mikey]

DOCKING TAILS AND CUTTING EARS ARE NOT ABUSE, FOCUS ON THE REAL ABUSERS, DOG FIGHTERS AND ABUSIVE OWNERS,
