[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1616527, member: 9267"] I don't think the law makers/law enforcers have any real idea of the animal welfare implications of what they are doing. For example, full tail docking was banned back in '06 with the *only* exception that the tail could be removed... by a vet... if it was injured. In reality if I have a cow with a snapped tail bleeding out I put a rubber ring on as soon as I see it, I don't leave her bleeding while I make a phone call to the vet, I've seen snapped tails some 3 - 4 times over 25 years, it's getting to the point where if you have a docked cow for any reason you're going to have to hide her completely... I have one in the calf mob this year, was like that when I first saw her at a few hours old I think momma got a bit too enthusiastic about licking her clean. It really doesn't help when you've got respected vets insisting that tails never get injured in any way other by humans. [/QUOTE]
