I think the law is a good one. I'd assume it's a ban on docking for cosmetic reasons only? Of course for a medical reason I suppose it would be considered amputation.

I have been feeling stronger and stronger about this, especially ear cropping (since the dog goes through a much longer period of pain for this). I did some research about it from articles written by vets and found it to be very disturbing. I so much prefer the look of natural ears. But I'm straying off topic since this is about docking.

I do think it's also a shame that people will "strike" for something and by doing it, do something that hurts the animals... withholding much needed funding from those animal organizations in order to "protest" is horrible IMO.
