Owners and importers of dogs with cropped ears will face hefty fines or possible jail time with new legislation set to be introduced next month.
with cropped ears will face hefty fines or possible jail time with new legislation set to be introduced to target the inhumane practice.Cropping relates to the practice of cutting off part or all of a dog's ears, and sometimes bracing any remaining part of the ear to stick upwards. The practice is usually used on breeds such as Pit Bull, Doberman Pinschers, Schnauzer, Great Dane, and Boxers.
"Dogs can experience life-long pain as a result of having their ears cut off. And the dogs are impacted in other, less obvious ways including their ability to communicate. Dogs use visual cues to communicate and express emotion, and removing part or all of their ears severely limits their ability to do so.
The new regulations will target those found operating or in control of vehicles, vessels or aircraft used for importing dogs with cropped ears. The ISPCA welcomes comments from Minister for Agriculture Food and the Marine Charlie McConalogue confirming that stricter restrictions on the ownership and importation of dogs with cropped ears will be introduced in the coming weeks.
