Which of these is the removal of portions of an animal's tail?

If your born with it ,you were suppose to have it. Stop doing this...and you call yourself and animal lover!

The explanation is chock full of baloney to try to justify this cruel practice.

its illegal in Britain now. for dogs I mean not private parts as dan says .

a cruel and unnecessary act that should be stopped... saw some Shire horses with their tails docked, didn't understand why, but I was very young then...

Anna sewell the author of black beauty condemned this barbaric practice. it was done in the 19th century to make dogs more fashionable! I've never heard anything so ridiculous and appalling in my life.

I had a rescue dog with a docked tail. I always felt so sorry for her when she was happy to see us and could only wiggle the stump, instead of giving it a good wag.

Lorraine , humans make that decision, animals have no choice or say in the matter.

player,#082015, humans cut things off themselves all the time and mutilate themselves too in lots of ways.

Arohanui, I understand my dog and he hasn't got a tail.

Banned also in Australia. We had a Rottweiler who had been docked, when it was still allowed. My son bought a Rottweiler 2 years ago and now as a 2yo his tail is a menace! I do agree with the ban, but large dogs with strong long tails can do a lot of damage when inside!

dobermans have their tails docked don't they?
