Is this acceptable?
Hi guys...
Today me and mum were roaming around Kota Damansara and we entered this pet shop that looked quite nice from the outside...as soon as we went in we were greeted by this really friendly miniature schnauzer...
We all know what a wonderful and beautiful breed miniature schnauzers are..unfortunately this fella had his ears cropped, tails docked and body dyed to a turqoise colour in three different spots!
What I dont understand is the necessity to perform all this on the poor dog and the shop owner proudly said that he performed the ear cropping to the dog when it was a puppy!!
Sometimes its so disturbing when people do things without knowing why...its like the times when chinese ladies were made to wear small shoes to keep their feet small..
Both ear cropping and tail docking is illegal in quite a number of countries! Of course we cant expect anything like this here since its a miracle to have any animal related law passed here! But the least we can do is to ask ourself-Why do I need to do this to my dog? And if u cant find a valid answer for that then just don't do it!
On top of that he was also selling his so called toy poodle pups which were "home breed"! The poor fellas didnt look happy and were cuddling together and sleeping at one corner of the cage! He also has a 1 year old beagle for sale which is kept in a cage and has been there since the shop was open (or so I was told and that dog is already a year old)...
If there is any good possible reason for tail docking and ear cropping to be practised at this time and era then please let me know as I can't think of any...
