		<description>Actually, you&#039;re both tools. 

Tool #1, I don&#039;t think the fact that there are worse atrocities than this automatically nullifies the significance of the abuse detailed in this posting. That&#039;s like saying that someone who kills one kid doesn&#039;t need to be be prosecuted because there are others who&#039;ve killed two kids (or more). Your logic here is tragically and fundamentally flawed.

Tool #2, Doberman&#039;s ears ARE cropped (in most cases) AND pinned in order to achieve that falsely astute appearance they have become known for. The poor beasts often spent up to their first year of life with metal &quot;cages&quot; on their heads to hold the savage surgical handiwork in place until the ear itself becomes trained, over time, to stand upright on its own. Great Danes undergo a similar procedure, but more and more pet owners are choosing to celebrate the natural beauty of their animals rather than subjecting them to unnecessary surgeries in order to conform to some silly &quot;standard.&quot;

A friend of mine owns a big, cuddly Dane with unmodified ears -- they are floppy and delightful :)</description>

		<description>You stupid person. Those things are done for the well being of an animals ie chips. This is shallow and dumb and the animal has no choice in the matter. This is being done for no good reason at all. I think doing it to a child is wrong also. We as humans have choice whaen we get older to have such things done. A chip is placed in a dog and cat for a good purpose. Your answer doesn&#039;t even have any interlect to it at all. Dobermans dont have their ear croped thats the bullie breeds, Dobermans have them pinned to stand up right and all of these things including tail docking is cruel and wrong. All of these things are a form of cruelty.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s stop pretending animals don&#039;t get their ears tagged, and RFID chips embedded under their skin for tracking and &quot;their own safety and well-being&quot; okay? Seriously. Anybody ever have their kids&#039; ears pierced? There are far, FAR less humane things being done to animals than this. Is it fucked up? Yes, of course. However, the fact is there are people out there who REALLY do torture animals, and although this is bizarre, it certainly isn&#039;t the worst thing I&#039;ve ever seen. BTW, Most dog owners have their dogs&#039; tails docked and dewclaws removed for some breeds, so don&#039;t sit there and pretend a ring through the ear is &quot;horrifying.&quot; Dobermans aren&#039;t born without tails and half their ears, you fucking drama queen!</description>
