Nova Scotia bans declawing and tail docking etc.

[Catherine]

It is always a victory when one place banns things like ear cropping, tail docking and declawing. It also shows other areas that a ban is possible. Other cities and provinces and even countries can look at Nova Scotia and be encouraged to do the same. It might take time, but the more people see animals that have not been cut the more we will accept them the way they are.

Cutting a tail seems so stupid. Dogs communicate with their tails. Ear cropping leaves a dog so little ear structure. The dog must feel stupid and embarrassed to be seen like that. 
We all know declawing is a cruel surgery and nothing can justify it.
