“Ear cropping is strictly cosmetic, there is no medical benefit, it is only done to change the look of the patient”.
Vet in B.C wants to pursue in creating a ban on ear cropping. The ban was already placed in Manitoba this month saying the procedure was painful and unnecessary, and a distress to dogs. If the committee is recommending banning the procedure, the next step is to mail-in bylaw vote. With enough votes they will go on with the banning of ear cropping.
Ear cropping is unnecessary and isn’t in any way beneficial to the dog. Do I agree with the ban that could possibly be placed? Well I think if you have a dog and crop their ears just for a certain look then that’s when it is unnecessary, however I understand if it is for show because the cropped ears are necessary (correct me if I am wrong) I guess we will have to wait and see what B.C decides and the votes.
