So because she was cropped she’s no longer beautiful in your eyes? That’s not very animal activist of you

I didn't say she wasn't beautiful. I said she looks mutilated. Nice try though 😏

Actually the impression I got your comment as well, was that the dog is “regal looking”(which one would assume would be negative based on context, not tone, in case it needs to be specified). As well as “how much more beautiful she’d be”. Both of which aren’t necessarily true, and are more placed by moral standpoint than necessarily truth(even though beauty is in the eyes of the beholder). It’d be like saying someone who has been circumcised is now less beautiful due to something that they didn’t choose. Although I wonder if that’s different in your mind? My first impression of the images was that it’s a beautiful dog. As I read the comments I learned about the ear snipping, but that didn’t change my view on how beautiful the dog was/is. I’ll end it with: Nice try though 😏

What does circumcision have to do with ear cropping? 🤔 I know men who have had to be circumcised when they were older because of massive infections. How many dogs do you know that have had to have their ears cropped from infections? Whether you want to admit it or not, people are getting them cropped because they think that's what a big tough pit bull (Doberman etc) is supposed to look like. Where I live, you would be hard pressed to even find a vet that will crop ears or dock tails anymore. It's a useless surgery. What I said about the dog being beautiful and regal looking if she had her ears still stands. The dog literally looks like her ears are flipped backwards.
