It is carried out without anaesthetic, usually when the piglet is 1-3 days old. Tail docking causes extreme suffering to pigs and can lead to infections that can leave lasting pain for the animals. Many piglets develop neuromas where their tail stump becomes a ball of tangled nerves. This causes a phantom limb which continues to cause them pain throughout their entire lives. Although the UK law states that tail docking should be only carried out as last resort, in a recent report Animal Equality - alongside The Animal Law Foundation - found that between 2013 and 2017, over 70% of UK pig farms routinely cut off the piglet's tails.
