Under Kupieren (French: more couper =) understands one cuts off generally something off to cut, shortens or to connecting pieces. In the special one one understands by it usually the operational removing from some tail eddies with horses, dogs (there both the rod and the ears, which was in mode and partly still is), in addition, the Kupieren about tails with sheep and pigs as well as shortening bills with the poultry, just as the Enthornen of cattle. Removing from cat claws and vocal cords falls likewise under this term.
The Kupieren is also a technical term from the actuarial science. There coincidentally distributed large damage is kupiert, in order to smooth statistics and/or increase their force of expression.
Driving horses (see also driving sport) in former times regularly the were kupiert, since with the fact the danger was reduced that those were gotten jammed linen. In different countries of the European Union that is in the meantime forbidden and is considered as cruelty to animals.
In mass animal husbandry became in former times, in order to prevent cannibalism by on close attitude conditions, which tails of breed pigs after few life days without Narkose kupiert. This was done simply via pinching off the tail by means of pliers. In different countries of the European Union that is in the meantime forbidden and is considered as cruelty to animals.
In today's mass animal husbandry it comes as with the pigs to pronounced kannibalistischen behavior. By the fact it was met to that that the chickens the bills were so strongly kupiert that they were straight still able to take up fodder. In different countries of the European Union that is in the meantime forbidden and is considered as cruelty to animals.
Removing of the claws from cats is forbidden in different countries of the European Union and is considered as cruelty to animals.
The usual Enthornen of cattle at the age of one year is legally permitted, although it is pointed out again and again that the horns for the cattle possess an important function (herd behavior, ranking, milk quality) and the Enthornen effect on the entire Physis of the animal has. One escapes this today by the fact that increases hornless cattle races are bred.
Operational removing of the vocal cords with experimental animals is forbidden in the European Union. One made this removing therefore, so that the animals are not able, to give as reaction of often extremely painful bioassays of pain sounds from itself to.
The Kupieren of dog rods was introduced, in order to avoid at kurzhaarigen races the injury risk by fastening the tail padded only insufficiently by skin. Jagdlich led dogs should be made possible with the work in the close wood a higher mobility. After these reasons lost their meaning with the time, the Schwanzamputation served only more fashionable purposes.
The Kupieren of the rod with dogs is accomplished in an age by 1-3 days without any Narkose, which according to data of should not be painful. The skin is cut with a Skalpell and cut withdrawn and the tail between the eddies. A sewing is not necessary usually, since the wound locks within shortest time. A by far more painful venture is the Kupieren of the tail with older dogs. This is to be equated with a Amputation, the operation procedure is by far more difficult. Requires an adequate pain and antibiotic therapy.
The Kupieren of the ears is usually accomplished in the age by 7-14 weeks. This takes place in full arcose. The ear is gotten jammed in a so-called Kluppe, a metal clamp. This gives the later form of the ear. Before getting jammed in the Kluppe must the ears in every detail be measured, so that ears equal in size are cut. So that the ear is to stand later, at least 2/5 of the entire ear length must be cut off. After the ear was cut, the edges are sewn, so that a Wundrand forms. The ears are then fastened under tension over the head of the dog with sticking federation, so that the cannot pull together and thus the new form of the ears is destroyed. After the interference an adequate antibiotic therapy should be accomplished and post office-operationally an appropriate pain therapy due to the risk of infection.
After one week then the ears become for several weeks until months in a rack, which is placed on the head clamped or by means of Tampons high-stuck. This is necessarily, there the cartilage of the ear not hard enough is around the ear in upright position to be held. This procedure is very lengthy and for the dog very annoying.
Due to Kluppen wrongly put on, too long or too narrowly cut ears or not properly accomplished tying up are often there difficulties. It can happen that either only one ear stands or both ears do not come to a halt. In such cases necessarily, like e.g. are renewed correction operations a inserting of into the ear for stabilization, equally Muskelraffungen at the head or skin distances are accomplished. This is connected with further pain and incommodities.
In many countries of Europe the Kupieren is meanwhile forbidden with dogs, in Switzerland since 1997, in Germany since 1997 (ears) and/or 1998 (tail), in Austria since 2000. Exceptions are Amputationen from medical indication (e.g. Tumore, tail outline) or in Germany when jagdlicher use. This Kupierverbot applies, even if the interference is accomplished in the countries, where this is still permitted. Into Switzerland and other European countries may kupierte dogs unite also not more be introduced (exceptions are short visits of foreigners, a proof of the Amputation due to medical indication or provable Kupieren before the entry into force of the regulations).
Since 2002 an exhibition prohibition applies to dogs from in and foreign country with the VDH, whose ears were amputiert after 1 January 1997 or their rod after 1 June 1998. For this reason today many exhibitions for certain dog races are abroad accomplished (e.g. in Italy and in Tschechien).
