now i don’t have any hard evidence or links for this, but i’ve had conversations with many of my friends and my brother’s ex-wife, all of whom are vets, or work in vet clinics, and from what they’ve told me is that it is beneficial for some dogs (bigger, stronger breeds) to have their tail cropped because otherwise, because of the strength in how they move they might break it on something. from there, healing is really difficult for them and can cause a lot of complications.
from my personal experience too, i have a big dog who screwed his tail up at some point and it’s never really healed
i dunno, food for thought, don’t start a fucking shit storm of this, i just wanted to put the idea out there. maybe someone can find some research saying one way or another on this

Liberate – Those dogs don’t appear to be “chained” up… Looks like the one has nothing on, and the other one has a leash that’s been let go of… I assume you’re not anti-leash.

Just wanted to chime in that tail docking is believed to be benificial for some long tailed dogs, that naturally, and regularly carry their tail above the level of the back (i.e. many Bull/Mastiff type breeds, Dobies, etc.), because, like was mentioned, healing a broken tail is incredibly difficult, and often the treatment may just be a later-in-life docking, which doesn’t heal as well either. Ear cropping has similar benifits in some breeds, though it’s mostly limited to Dobies and Great Danes, as excessively long ears, if injured, (hematomas, etc.) can be equally as difficult to heal.
And all thanks to how humans have bred dogs to have all sorts of disadvantageous anatomical features.

look, if tail docking is done correctly it is fine, but why is no one paying attention to the fucking AMAZING suspension!!!!

*sigh* I am a vet. I do tail dockings on a regular basis, but really, the only reason people dock tails is because it’s expected. That said, done properly, I don’t think it harms the dogs (or I wouldn’t be doing it!).
There is no medical reason for docking tails. And the argument of “what if they break it later” is haphazard rationalization–how many Labradors, hounds, and Newfoundlands out there have long tails all their lives and never break them? That argument is the equivalent of saying you should amputate your toe so you can’t stub it.

Gonna add to the tail cutting. My dad has a lab…I went to visit and she got so excited, she started waging her tail really hard (of course). I went to her and saw that there were blood marks on the wall from where her tail was hitting.
Either, she is EXTREMELY strong or it actually can be needed.
