I'm horrified that this legislation totally ignores the welfare of puppies as young as 3 days old - all animals feel pain, they have nerve endings just like humans and to put a young puppy through this barbaric procedure for cosmetic reasons is beyond my comprehension. Who in the Irish Government decided they 'know better' and go against all advice from the Irish Veterinary Union?! This is savage mutilation of the worst kind and Irish politicians should be advocating for a complete ban - not promoting cutting body parts from puppies without anaesthesia!!
