We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to ban the practice of docking tails of dogs, even and especially if they have been traditionally docked, and to end all similar forms of mutilation to dogs. More details

Some breeds traditionally have had their tails docked while they are young. Supporters claim that it isn't painful, and necessary for the breed. However, it is clearly painful to the puppy, and is purely a cosmetic exercise for the vanity of pwners.
