In the latest issue of the Veterinary Practice News (www.VeterinaryPracticeNews.coom, page 4), they report that the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) has clarified its stance on ear cropping and tail docking, saying "The AVMA opposes ear cropping and tail docking of dogs when done solely for cosmetic purposes. The AVMA encourages the elimination of ear cropping and tail docking from breed standards." www.AVMA.com
As a holistic veterinarian I applauld that stance as I see no improvement in ear health from cropping.
