ruthcatrin was this the "humane" society or a private adoption group?
I'm sure DD has seen many threads go astray. LOL

it is no more "cruel" than getting a baby circumcised.
Exactly!! Parents who choose circumcision often do so based on religious beliefs, concerns about hygiene, or cultural or social reasons, such as the wish to have their son look like other men in the family. However, the parents still have the CHOICE. Dog owners should be no different...as the owner, we should retain the right to choose a crop or dock by a professional.
Sigh... another thing that is hard to come by although not completely banned here yet but there is only one hospital in my province that will do circumcisions and it is about 3 hours away, they consider it cosmetic and un-necessary so I expect before long that will go too. I should also note that we can't have dew claws removed either from puppies that are born with them but it is still humane to de-claw a cat??? WTF!!! I don't know who wrote that law but they don't know $hit.
Just out of curiosity do they allow de-barking? And yes, there is a distinct lack of thought that goes into such.....

I know people that have had it done, I am on the fence about it. If I don't want to deal with the barking then I get a breed that doesn't bark. Like if I didn't want to crop or dock I get a breed that doesn't require that. In the end it is a decision and if a vet is willing to do it then I would say it would be up to the owner because I believe the moment you start with allowing them to take one right away the rest quickly follow
