debarking
it's called Debarking. It's a dangerous procedure, and a stupid one as well in my opinion. It is done quite often to dogs like Beagles, even done here in America. Beagles bark and howl, it's a bred trait that was used to hunt game. Anyone who wants to own a beagle should realize this before they get one, surgically altering an animal to fit your needs is ridiculous.
Jetjok, that must have been pretty sad seeing all those dogs like that.
