Canadian Veterinary Medical Association2. COSMETIC SURGERYPosition: "The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) opposes surgical alteration of any animal, for purely cosmetic purposes." Background: The CVMA believes that cosmetic surgery is unnecessary, except in injury or for reasons of health. Examples of cosmetic procedures include: 1. tail docking in the equine, bovine, or canine species; 2. tail nicking/setting in the equine species; 3. ear cropping; 4. onychectomy in species other than the domestic cat. The CVMA encourages breed associations to change their breed standards so that cosmetic procedures are not required. (Revised, July 1993 - C36393) ANIMAL WELFARE ADVOCACY -ends-
