why do dogs need to cut off their tails? This seems to be a controversial and unpredictable problem. It affects the lives of dogs and people. In many rare cases, the dog's tail is severed for aesthetic and exhibition purposes, but in most cases it is for medical or humanitarian reasons.

Medical reasons include dislocation, rupture, infection and so on. In some working dogs, tail cutting can reduce the risk of work injury. In addition, the laws of some countries stipulate that certain breeds of dogs must have their tails cut off or their ears cut off.

2. Historical background of dog's broken tail

The history of dog's broken tail can be traced back to centuries ago. In ancient times, dog tail cutting and other plastic surgery were widely used to emphasize manual selection and optimization of dog breed standards. In Britain and Ireland, with the development of purebred dog breeds, the dog's broken tail has gradually become a traditional and cultural symbol.

However, some experts say that tail amputation has long affected the physical and mental health of pet dogs. Therefore, some countries prohibit artificial tail cutting. However, it is still an effective way to protect working dog breeds, and some dog breeds are born with short tails

3, which affects the physical and psychological health of dogs with broken tails < P > Dogs with short tails will affect their balance and movement, and dogs with short tails cannot communicate and express themselves like long-tailed dogs. However, for the standard requirements of dog breeds, we can reasonably operate and select the "short-tailed gene" as a feature, such as the Kashi Gumu we have heard. But man-made tail cutting has caused pain and danger.

In addition, the dog's broken tail will also have a negative impact on its emotional and mental health. For dogs, tails are a way to communicate and express emotions. They use tails to convey their emotional state. But cutting off the tail will deprive the dog of this way of communication and make him lose a language in communication. As a pet, short-tailed dogs can't communicate with other dogs normally because of the loss of their tails

4. What should we do?

Under the concept of protecting animal rights and interests, artificial tail cutting may have adverse effects on pet dogs, so it is necessary to learn correct management and training methods. Protect the dog's life and health, restore their natural communication style, and make the dog's tail intact.

of course, if necessary, medical needs, such as dislocation and other emergencies, short-term tail amputation is inevitable.
