is dog ear cropping wrong?

Question

I feel people are just doing a pointless procedure just for aesthetics. Those poor doggies.🐕 would you ever consider it? Why or why not?

Answer

I don't agree with it... It's unecessary... the only thing I agree with is sheep dogs getting their tails cut off so they can't get them ripped off

Answer

Oh lord 🙄 no it's not wrong, it doesn't kill them or cause them immense pain. It's a quick procedure that's traditional for a few dog breeds. I'll be doing it to any pit and/or boxer I own. Same for docking the tail.

Answer

The clinic where we took our dog would only do it to purebred pitbulls. In Colorado it honestly made him look better once they were cropped.

Answer

Speaking as someone who works with a rescue agency, if you try to rescue a dog but already have a dog with cut ears or tail, chances are that agency won't let you adopt. Meaning if you bring in your current dog to meet a dog you want to get and the agency sees it, it tends to be a big factor in if you are allowed to adopt a dog or not. It's an unnecessary prodcedure that I don't see a point in. Especially the ears, dogs have long ears for a reason it protects their canals from forgein germs dirt and bugs. It hurts my heart to be honest

Answer

It's unnecessary and only meant for aesthetics which is stupid in my opinion. I don't care if it's painless, but there's no point in it at all. 
I also don't get why some people would cut off their dogs tails for ONLY aesthetic reasons as well? My dog had to get her tail cut off (professionally) since having it would damage her spine, but I just don't get why people will cut of pieces of a dogs ears or tail JUST bc they think it looks better....

Answer

I think its unnecessary. 
Its painful for the dog, it can get expensive, and 90% of the time it looks stupid as hell. 
I prefer the look and feel of the long velvety puppy ears anyway 💁

Answer

I disagree with it. Even if anesthetic and pain killers eliminate pain...its an unnecessary cosmetic procedure. The only body you get to alter for cosmetic reasons is your own. Doesn't matter that the body is an animals and you are the "owner". Not your body, not your choice.

Answer

The only reason people do it is to make the dog look how the people want. It's unnecessary pain for the poor dog.

Answer

I say just leave em be. If they were meant to look like that, they would from birth. I don't like it.

Answer

When we got our boxer, his ears and tail were done. Makes me so sad. But his previous owners did it and then left him 😭
