	Bambooweb: Zoophilia
		They observe that in fact animals negotiate sex, form relational bonds, and give or withold consent in their own way in every kind of activity, and that this is both natural and unmistakable.
		Platonic love for animals, even of an intense kind, is usually viewed positively, however sexual interest (whether fantasy or reality) is highly controversial and for many people an emotive topic bound up with many deep social traditions.
		They were already researching whether humans could "love" animals, what the nature of animals feelings in return were, and the detailed nature of any sexual and emotional relationship.

	RSPCA Latest
		MPs were given the option of maintaining the status quo, where tail docking of dogs is allowed if performed by a vet; or amending the Animal Welfare Bill to have either an outright ban, or a ban with exemptions for working or gun dogs.
		During the report stage and third reading of the Animal Welfare Bill, MPs have voted by 476 to 63 to ban the outdated, unwarranted practice of cosmetic tail docking of dogs.
		This decision means the UK is now able to join the 13 other European countries that have already ratified the European Convention on Pet Animals, which states that it is illegal to dock dogs' tails.

	Animal Rights Watch Maintained by Derek Coons
		This results in hellish lives for animals who have to deal with severe confinement, mutilations done with no anesthesia (such as debeaking, castration, and tail docking), horrible living conditions, disease, shipping in extreme temperatures, and finally their own execution at the slaughterhouse.
		Animal rights means recognizing that animals are living sentient creatures with interests of their own, not objects to be exploited by humans.
		It means that animals' interests should be respected, and that the enslaving, eating, wearing, and torturing of animals by humans is wrong.

	Factory farming
		Crowding, drugging, and mutilating animals (often, debeaking and tail-docking, performed without anesthetic) are criminally cruel practices.
		This often causes "vices" (unnatural behaviour caused by mental stress) such as cannibalism, and these may be countered through procedures like debeaking and tail docking.
		Large populations of animals require a lot of water and are depleting water resources in some areas.

	RSNL1990 CHAPTER A-10 - ANIMAL PROTECTION ACT
		(2) A person who cuts the solid part of the tail of a horse, commonly known as "docking", mistreats an animal.

	Jewish theology and the animal
		Answering questions on this matter, a Jewish scientist has put it this way: such farming methods are totally in conflict with the demand "not to make any living creature suffer from pain." Cutting beaks, clipping wings, docking tails etcetera fully offend the Halachic prohibition on the mutilation of animals.
		Jewish theologists and scientists have, other than their Christian colleagues, intensively occupied themselves with the animals.
		In Jewish theology more emphasis is put on the resemblance both have -in spite of their decisive difference- as well as on the responsibility of mankind (being stronger) for the animal being weaker and entrusted to his care.

		Graham Downing, spokesman for the Council of Docked Breeds, said: "I have absolutely no doubt that if there is a restriction in Scotland and docking is legal in England, Scottish breeders will go south of the border to have their animals' tails docked.

		The new restrictions are being proposed as part of the Animal Health and Welfare Bill, currently going through the Scottish Parliament.
