So my state just became the first to ban de-barking of dogs. Hopefully other states will follow suit.

Re: For the Dog Lovers.
I hope other states follow, too.
I made a bio?!?

100% agree. Although sometimes I wouldn't mind having the option to de-voice some of the people I work with
I, personally, hope we get to a point where docking of tails and ears is not allowed.
BTW, look at this fierce pitbull.
I've read many articles written by dog trainers and breeders about the great service provided by de-barking. They basically use the same logic and de-clawing a cat. It makes it so that the owner doesn't have to worry about noise problems and increases adoption rates because you have a silent dog (like a clawless cat). They encourage all shelters to debark and declaw along with spay/neuter animals that are adopted out of the shelter.

I can think of more than a couple people that I would do this to if I could. Just saying.
Everything the light touches is my kingdom.

My pits ears are not cropped. But some kids a few towns over got arrested for clipping a pitbull puppies ears with scissors.
People are idiots.

I'll probably be dog sitting her for a few weeks when my friend has her baby.

You know, I've totally had that thought, too.
I guess what I want is: that we wouldn't actually do it. It seems crazy to remove that from a human (no matter how much we wish we could sometimes...). :-)
(Sorry, that sounds soap-box-y.)
I don't understand cropping--are there benefits to cutting your dog's ear or tail off? My grandma had boxers, and they were never cropped, so I don't understand why you would do that anyway.
Edit: Nevermind, you just answered the question.
On the flip side, I HATE OWNERS WHO LET THEIR DOGS BARK OUTSIDE ALL DAY/NIGHT. It's a real problem here in Mexico, even in the nicest of neighborhoods, and I'll never accept it as part of the culture. It seriously infuriates me. Especially when DH can't get a good night's sleep.
Most breeders crop the ears with razors when the puppies are newborns.
Pitbulls ears got cropped so they were not bitten off in dog fighting. Now people do it so they "look tough".
My dog lost half her tail because she got hit by a car. I would never have done it just for appearance.

Part of the problem is that people think it makes them look tougher, and then dumbasses do it themselves. People that do their own cropping are also people that likely have the breed for the wrong reasons.

[QUOTE]I once walked into the vets operating area while a cat was being declawed. I took one look, walked to the bathroom, threw up and started sobbing. All to protect some furniture.

:( I would have done the same thing.
