This mainly comes down to physical characteristics through both breeding and cosmetic purposes, both of which have lead to ethics issues. Certain dogs can be deemed not up to show quality if they fail to meet the standard descriptors. A Doberman, based on these ridiculous standards, should have ears standing up and a docked tail....just because...which is unnecessary.

This was a bit of a rant, but its important as the standards are messing dogs up for profit. 1 2 Link to comment

If we're viewing the cutting off of dogs tails for aesthetic purpose as disgusting, then you don't want to enter that rabbit hole! Link to comment
Kaitlyn Johnson Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Good. Keep them uncut like Sam’s Persian cucumber 🍆☺️ 1 Link to comment

jennyj Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Yess... the floppy ears are sooo freakin' cute. And that's so sad the tail was clipped. That should be illegal everywhere. Porsha's gonna live it's best life with Britney and Sam I don't like the mention of PETA though... if people actually knew the horrible things they do to animals while virtue signaling and pretending like they're activists... they would be cancelled. 1 Link to comment

It is horrible that some people think butchering their pets’ ears or tails (or whatever else) for beauty standards is okay. Don’t feel bad about “ranting” about this. Speaking for myself, I never imagined things like this happened, so I’m glad that you have informed me about it. Link to comment
