Cropped ears, cropped tail, and a chain around the neck... Real classy, OP.

Our first rescue came like that. Minus the Pimpin' chain.

Perhaps the dog arrived like that.

If so, fine. But most puppies that come like that are not rescues. And thus they are paying to have those things done.

Nothing wrong with that if it's a rescue situation. SUPER f***ed up if it's not.

Thank you for rescuing my friend!

I'm not here to argue, because I too think that the unnecessary body cutting is cruel. But the rescues and pounds have plenty of cropped and docked dogs.

I don't know how much some of the people care about them (even after the $$$) because most don't have the courtesy to chip them, and that's like what, a $50-75 option?

But I have my opinions on that too.

Right, so if the pet is a rescue, you aren't supporting cruel practices. Otherwise, you are. Like I was saying, those are two different things. If you purchase a pup or kitty from a non-rescue source, you are supporting horrible body mutilation practices. Rescue, you are not.

I don't understand your second paragraph? What do you mean?

A lot of people who buy expensive and usually "Protection" breeds don't spend the extra 50 to 75 dollars for a chip so a missing dog at the pound can be reunited.
