Let docked dogs be shown in Northern Ireland

Legally docked dogs should not be discriminated against with events having a paying gate. If all requirements are met to be legally docked they should have the right to be exhibited or it is clear discrimination.
Animal welfare should look at all livestock equally eg sheep are allowed to be docked as the build up of excrement causes infections etc! Look at it properly its because the farmers do not have enough time to give them individual attention as they have too many ! A sponge would clearly prevent this build up !!! They are therefore allowed for convenience unlike dogs that have a genuine reason for docking
Even the ear tagging on cattle that causes injury to the ear when it catches on something resulting in a tear which causes pain and possible infection. The reasons why docking came into force hasn't changed with the passage of time, and does not cause the pup any pain when done at the correct time, therefore it should not be discriminated from one dog to another
