People who don't fight their dogs still get ears cropped for aesthetic reasons either to satisfy a "standard" or to make the dog look more feral and aggressive. I've even had someone try to justify the practice to me by saying that cropping the ears decreases/prevents painful inner ear infections. Beagles are a breed that seems to more likely to get alot of ear infections based on the ones I've seen and from people I've known who own them and no one crops the ears on that breed.



Some people are just assholes and thinks it makes their dogs look scarier, meanwhile there is nothing cuter than a pitbull with ears. Its all an ego thing and goes to show you their fucking stupid mentality, uggg most of em even do it themselves. There are a few docs that wont do it round here. It has to be done when they are very very young, not when they've already become adults. People are just fucking evil and most deserve to get his with a serious plaque. Cocker Spaniels are the biggest breed with ear infections.
