" Nobody really wants people to see the bad part of 'dockings gone wrong"...we do!"
'Please include Kerry's pictures on your site. I do not want her pain and suffering to be in vain. She was turned in as a stray; we tried to have reconstructive surgery done to correct the attempt at the botched docking, which failed as they severed part of her spine in the process. Kerry is alive and will remain at our Sanctuary in diapers, being loved and taken care of for the rest of her life. The "backyard hacker" who did this to her, leaving her permanently mutilated we will never know it was, but even if we did, the laws in Canada are so weak that the chances are, they would never have to pay the price like Kerry did.' END
'"I frown upon it,"' says Toronto veterinarian Jonathan Mitelman, who refuses to perform either procedure. He has treated dogs with complications from botched tail docking such as spinal cord injuries and skin problems on the tail nub.' "It's quite yucky,"' he says.' ENDZe
