press release

Docking tails must be banned in Ireland. Good news from Northern Ireland . AFAR is delighted in The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) stance in updating the Welfare of Animals Act (Northern Ireland) 2011 to ban any dog docked after this date from being shown in Northern Ireland. Dogs docked before this date may still be shown under current legislation.

Jump To Comment: 1I think docking myself is cruel and unessecary it is definately akin to chopping a finger off or pulling a tooth,it gives the dog so much unessecary agnony and what about infection?Surely they should at least do this under anaesthetic,not that it would bring much comfort in the aftermath when the pain returns.
Im glad to hear they banned it.
