As well he should feel unsafe. The AKC sets standards for some breeds such as corgis that require tail docking in order to show the breed at AKC sponsored shows. It's otherwise called animal mutilation and even though done while the pup is only a few days old requires deprives it of a lifelong means of natural communication (body language being very important for canine communication and the tail is one of its most important means of communicating.) It's akin to cutting a human baby's tongue out. Hard to look at this cartoon and find it funny.
