    I actually felt physically sick when I heard about this on the news tonight.

    The news report said that apparently a neighbour had placed the complaint with the RSPCA.

    How sick can someone be to do something like this?

    Now to convince hubby we should get another puppy.. I don't know why but this story has really gotten to me. Maybe the pregnancy hormones are working overtime but I actually feel like crying each time I look at that dog. How could anyone do this to any animal? People are arseholes!

    I sincerely hope this bastard gets the maximum penalty. 2 years is simply not enough.

    I just cannot understand what could drive someone to take a pair of scissors and hack away at a dog's ears. To make it look tough? It's sick!

    Can the dog still hear, at least?

    The reports say that his hearing has not been damaged, but he will be scarred for life. He is still recovering from the ordeal and has been placed with a foster family to help it recover. Poor little thing.

    At least he still has his hearing and does not look terribly deformed (just a bit odd).

    But yes, this is a pretty vicious act on the part of owner. To say the least it is rather revolting.

    If the puppy was sedated I'd have no problem with ear cutting

    This is a good crime where eye for an eye applies. Cut this guys ears off!

    i don't know why your panties are in a bunch.
    ever hear of dobermans? ever see one?
    they are born flop eared too.

    the way they get their ears is by cutting off the excess at a slant.
    their tails are as long as regular dogs tails.
    the way they get short is by lopping off the excess.

    I know about that and I find it as disgusting as this story. These idiots do it while the dog is still a pup, almost newborn I think, with the logic "Oh, they won't remember it." Sadly, there may be some logic to this. How many of you guys remember your own circumcision?

    So that makes what this guy did alright?

    Do you think it is ok to take a pair of scissors and hack off an animal's ears so that it looks 'tough'?

    You don't think it is a crime to mutilate an animal Leo? Be it this puppy or doberman's for that matter?

    I personally find people who lop off the tails of doberman's as well as dogs such as rottweilers to be sick and perverted bastards. Do you know why? Because such proceedures are usually done when the puppies have just been born and the tails are then hacked off then and there for cosmetic appeal. It has caused enough of an outcry in Queensland (Australia) that laws are now in place to make it an offence to dock a dog's tail unless it is done by a vet and only if it is medically essential.

    The ban also exists Australia wide, with each state having their own version of the legislation.

    Basically in Australia, if you mutilate an animal, you get caught, you get into big trouble.

    This punishment and taking care of the dog is at least something.

    Dogs are being skinned ALIVE in some countries for their furs.

    i have no idea what this guy had in mind.
    it kind of looks like a pit bull pup.
    pit bulls are used extensively in dog fights.
    the ears could have been cut off for that reason.

    apparently the AKC and other top dog breeders think so.

    it depends on the circumstances involved.
    was the dogs ears cancerous?
    buy a full blooded doberman that has been trimmed.
    see if you get the going price for a grown one if it isn't.

    don't get me wrong bells i'm against animal cruelty.

    They cut off shepherd dogs' ears in many countries for example.

    I am circumsized and neither remember it nor have any ill effects from it. So perhaps these dogs are also fine.

    Although really, we should given anaesthetic no matter what.

    Too bad the court considers it 'cruel and unusual', not poetic justice to cut the mans ears off!!

    Unfortunately we all know very well what this matter entails. An innocent animal with no real past was cut, and without any justifiable reason.

    The only fit punishment for this person, or anyone that hurts an animal is death. If death is the punishment no one will ever dare hurt animals again, they'll slowly begin to worship all creatures, then we'll have peace.

    Of course to accomplish this we must first accept those who harm little, sweet, tiny, cute, animals are to die, without trial or question!

    Die animal killer / maimer scum!

    I have heard far worse. You know they routinely cut the balls off calves without any anesthetic.
