My opinion is I am not saying its like a haircut and I am not saying its for the birds own good.
I was saying that is the history behind it. And instead of sin I should have said cruelty.

this is the same as what I have read for the reason of dubbing.....same as the old english game....
edited to add:this is the tradition of the reason for dubbing and it continues to this day in shows.....
Now I think people should not be so quick to judge, you all can have your own...
I did it last year( to show a bird )and right after dubbing I put his head in a bowl of ice water for a few seconds-it really stops the blood flow fast-
there are people who only show there pullets and hens because of this, and/or only dub the male they really want to show and leave the rest...
