Veterinarians who continue to perform ablations will face sanctions, warns the veterinary college in that province. The Quebec order of veterinarians says docking tails and cropping ears can cause infections and chronic pain.
Quoted by the CBC, Dr. Karen Joy Goldenberg, a veterinarian at the Pierrefonds Animal Hospital said, “Tail docking is actually an amputation. You’re cutting off multiple vertebrae with all of the nerves and tissue around it. Same idea for the ears. Cropping the ears, you’re basically cutting half of the ear off with its cartilage, just to give the ear a specific shape”. “Canadians should realize that cosmetic surgery on animals causes unnecessary pain” stated our main source.
