It's a great capture Nezih, but could i ask you without sounding to naive why do they have to cut the ears?

There are two reasons that I know, Maria: not to be easily snagged by the ear during fight with the wolves and to make it look fierce.

I imagine the collar could do more damage than the dog!

More to prevent being strangled by the wolf, than giving harm, Paul! It might as well do that, of course.
