/ #26 TAIL DOCKING FOR HUSBANDARY

2011-01-12 21:26

DOCKING WAS ORIGINALY INTRODUCED BY OUR PREDECESSORS FOR HUSBANDARY REASONS, I WONDER HOW MANY OF OUR LEGISLATORS HAVE EVER OWNED A DOG THAT REQUIRED REGULAR GROOMING. AS GROOMERS WE CAN INFORM YOU THAT THE TWO MOST DIFFICULT PARTS OF A DOG TO GROOM ARE IT'S FEET AND ITS TAIL. DOGS GET VERY DISTRESSED WHEN TAILS ARE BEING WORKED WITH AND MOST GET VERY AGRESSIVE. BEFORE ANY MLA VOTES ON THIS SUBJECT LET ME SUGGEST THAT THEY VISIT A GROOMING PARLOUR AND PHYSICALY GROOM A DOGS TAIL.
DOCKING A TAIL TAKES SECONDS ONCE IN A DOGS LIFE AS OPPOSED TO A TERRIFING EXPERIENCE SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR FOR 12- 15 YEARS.
DOCKING PREVENTS DISTRESS, DOCKING IS GOOD HUSBANDARY
