'Docking' tails and 'cropping' ears have long been common in some dog breeds. Some dog show participants want that to change.

Animal cruelty. Definitely should be against the law. animalabuse

No!! Not my tail dad!!!

Plastic surgery in vogue. 🙄

How about, Fucking No?!

Like a Miss or Mr. Universe contest, eh? Bodies without enhancement aren’t good enough. Cosmetic surgery. If dogs only understood that in essence they’re being body shamed

Uh .... no. COMPLETELY barbaric.

Yes.

Five dobies in 26 years...all with their ears. All beauties.

That's cruel. What they do to several of the dog breeds is laughable. Why do they even have these shows ? Is it so that dog breeders can charged a crazy amount of money for a dog? The best dogs are mixed breeds. And not the fake mixed breeds like a Labradoodle, etc.

Cutest dog in the world. Natural ears, tail and other body parts.

It’s disgusting.

This Great Dane lover has always hated the fact that all the ones in “pageants” have cropped ears. How beautiful are these boys? naturalears stopthecrop

Screw Westminster.

Nope. Winning isn't worth it. My beautiful street dog is perfect already. ❤️ roolaboola streetdog

That’s bullshit. I don’t care what people think but there is a reason it is banned everywhere but the US. My Doberman had a docked tail and cropped ears( breeder) but I would never do it again. My schnauzer had natural ears. Now it’s all for cosmetic reason. Stop it !!!

Should not b allowed

Are the judge's willing to cut their ears and buttocks?

Those shows make me uneasy. Like those 'Little Miss' pageants.

Not gonna happen.

Let us try!

you don't have to mangle your human body!

Jesus

No

Why would you mutilate a beautiful animal.

We should boycott this animal abuse !

Disgusting. Dog show judges have to be some insufferable people.

The clipping should be illegal and show standards should be changed!!! This is barbaric!!

okay done now what?

Cruelty! Where is the RSPCA?

What? That's ridiculous! 😶😐 It's a dog, not a piece of clothing.

No, that’s cruel

Barbaric, cruel, disgusting, and completely unnecessary.

I would never crop my dog's ears. When I bought my Cane Corse, I told the breeder NOT to crop her ears. That is some barbaric shit.

Seems rude.

At this Westminster Dog Show competition, it’s the humans who are judgedWell obviously. These shows are a bad idea. Most people starve their pets for hours so they can learn stupid tricks. They call Westminster a sporting event. It's really just a beauty pageant
