yes... civilized means allowing the dog to suffer injury throughout his whole life I guess....
"Boxers are a boisterous dog and they will simply keep injuring their tails if they aren't docked"
dewclaws are cut off to prevent them from snagging and tearing off... which they WILL do.
Civilized? You'd rather maintain some idealistic vision of not "mutilating" the dog rather than doing what's right.
Congratulations. You're a saint.
