To: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

We, the undersigned, are petitioning to ban the barbaric act of cosmetic tail docking. The equally unpleasant practice of ear cropping was ended in Britain when your ancestor, King George 6th, told the Kennel Club he found the fashion distasteful.

We hope as a great animal lover you can go down in history as the monarch who gave every British dog the right to a natural, waggy tail. We feel sure that if you express a preference and choose to leave your next litter of Corgis as nature-intended this unnecessary mutilation will end.

Sincerely

The Undersigned
