There are essentially two grounds for ear-cropping in dogs. The first and most widespread is cosmetic in certain breeds of dogs where these dogs are typically shown at exhibitions or competitions and where the cropped ear remains in the breed standard; the second is sanitary in working breeds where the dogs ears are otherwise vulnerable to serious injury. In the latter not only is the working dog saved significant pain and discomfort in the field, there is not need to continually administer potent antibiotics to counter infections. Outlawing clinical practice has forced the surgery 'underground' in many countries.

How many kills does a pit bull have?

MOST PIT BULLS AREN'T KILLERS. Fact; more people die from getting hit on the head from a COCONUT than from being ATTACKED by a pit bull. Please drop this reputation and understand that not all pit bulls are raging killers. The reason people use pit bulls to kill or to be used in dog fight is because of their extremely high pain tolerance, their athletic build, and if they are full pit, they are most likely to have a high prey drive. Also, the reason people (gang members) crop their ears and tails is because in dog fights, it is likely for the other dog to miss their ears and tails because they are so short.
