As you go to bed tonight, spare a thought for a police officer. An officer who will now have to justify their decision to fire their weapon. An officer who has to come to terms that they killed someone. An officer who may be sat on the edge of their bed, reliving today.

No! No! No!. You can train a dog to do anything, such is their loyalty. Why would any dog trainer train them to run towards their probable own serious injury or death? Utterly immoral. A live incident is totally different to a training exercise. The dog would be shot.

Yet again we are hearing the same comments on ear-cropping. The question is not where or how ear-cropping is done or by whom. The real question is why do some humans think they have the right to have their puppy's ears cut off?
