Petition Opposing Vet Docking/Cropping Ban

Yet another round we have to fight against veterinary associations trying to ban their members from "non-essential" surgeries - which of course neglects to include spaying and neutering amongst "non-essential" surgeries. For our members especially in Ontario Canada please consider being proactive by signing the online petition noted in the attached thread. (Yes I live in Gatineau, QC., but I take all my kids to the Ottawa Veterinary Clinic so I think it is legitmate for me to sign this petition.) If we sit idly by we will defer the right to determine our own kids' health care requirements and treatments to service providers and you can rest assured that it will shortly thereafter become legislation. Permission to cross post has been given. Note that I have inverted the thread to make it easier to follow.

Subject: Petition against banning Docking and Cropping

Good Evening All;

A petition has been set-up at the site below. They are looking to have 500 names on it to send to the Ontario Veterinarian College (OVC) by Dec-30-2011. Essentially the petition is asking the OVC to continue to allow breeders and veterinarians the choice to dock/crop/dew claw removal or not. You may not agree with docking and or cropping but I believe most of us simply want to be able to make the right choice for our dogs. To have this choice taken away only opens the doors for further and further restrictive legislation by the OVC on the breeding community.

Please consider signing this petition... it only takes a moment of your time to do so. If you are so inclined you may also write a note to the OVC by Dec-30-2011.

Thank you in advance,

Adele M

Adele, Diane,

Done. I also included the following personal commentary.

Respectfully submit that veterinarians as health service providers need the freedom from their national and provincial organizations to provide the care requested by their clients, the dog owners. To arbitrarily revoke these services will lead many to either unapproved sources or attempt to dock on their own subjecting dogs to extreme risks that would otherwise be precluded by appropriate professional veterinary care.

Other petition signers may want to add something similar, remember to be courteous, ask that the choice to dock/crop/remove de-claws remain the sole purview of the dog parent/owner and stress that proper health care provisions for our dogs by qualified professionals is the most important aspect here.


Thanks and Cheers


Carl

Me too.

Thanks for bringing this to light Carl. I like the spay/neuter angle.

Sorry did not sign. I do agree in part & don't in other areas. If the dog needs it to improve its life & I would say yes but no with the tails. Sorry & hope all goes well with this
