If you have working dogs you will understand why this needs done! Having been through the ordeal it's horrible

At least it will stop the dogs suffering horrendous damage to their tails whilst out on shooting days

If the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons is claiming that 500 puppies will have to suffer an amputation for every 1 working dog that actually sustains a tail injury then that's simply not acceptable.

if you ever witnessed tail injury in a Spaniel you would have no hesitation in welcoming this decision. only the ignorant uneducated and uncaring on the facts would support this ban

It's barbaric and completely unnecessary. No dog should be subjected to such cruelty. All this about it being essential for so-called working dogs is utter rubbish.

I have seen what happens when working dogs don't have their tails docked. They get injured and damaged to the point they have to be amputated anyway! Surely it would be kinder to have this done humanely when they are just puppies before any damage is caused?

In order that we protect our dogs from horrendous pain and suffering caused by tail damage it is the right decision to have working puppies tails docked.

From personal experience of the pain and distress dealing with a damaged unlocked tail, three operations and seven weeks of pain, not to mention pain from the original injury.

Prevention is MUCH better than having any animal suffer the pain of a tail which has been dammaged and is "treated" for weeks before the vet is able to consider removing the dammaged end.

It takes weeks for a damaged tail to heal. All our spaniels have had damaged tails.

Even non-working spaniels can suffer terrible tail injury if they get adventurous exercise, as they deserve and need. Docking soon after birth, and amputation when much older, are two very different situations for the dog.

If tails are docked by a vet at an early age of the dogs life, it could save a lot of pain and suffering. Thankfully our springer, ex working, came to us docked, never had any problems. Have seen the pain a dog is in with tail damage is not good.

If tail docking is required to prevent an injury then it's indicative that the activity required of the dog is injurious to its health in the first place. Therefore shouldn't be done. Collies are working dogs, but don't require tail docking to herd sheep. This is what we should be focusing on far too many concessions and accommodations towards elements of the field sports sector who need review and if necessary banned. 'sporting' estates where red deer are stalked traditionally maintain unnaturally high numbers of deer to make their stalking easier for clients. These bloated populations not only graze the hills bare their excess numbers increase the incidence of serious and fatal road accidents due to collisions with numerous, hungry deer seeking forage. So people's' lives are being lost! These issues are linked, big review and reform needed ASAP.

Early personal computer based games traditionally counted on the http://ducklife.xyz availability of a key-board for game play, or more frequently, required the individual to buy a separate joystick with a minimum of one switch to play.

I study dog communication and behaviour and can say the tail is an essential part of their communication with other dogs and humans. I am also against hunting and using dogs for hunting so I couldn't care that hunters think this is so important! Surely if you knew what is most important in a dog's life, you would know that intra(and inter-)species socialisation is one of the top priorities. And for that, they do need tails! So, sorry if you want them off for the "incredibly important activity" (not!) of hunting.
