Ran across this article.
It's written by a doctor (vet?) and it states very clearly that this is a procedure that should be done on all english bulldogs if the owner wants to minimize the discomfort that comes along with being part of this breed. I had not heard before that this procedure is almost mandatory for all of them, but I totally understand the logic here.
I guess its no different than the owner who fails to clean the tail pocket for weeks and weeks, and their dog is the one who suffers. These little piggies have a difficult life with their physical situation, and any steps I can take to make my little rhinoceros/water buffalo feel more comfortable? I'll do it.

Have you heard the same?
The first thing I thought (always think) is "Surgery = Anesthesia = Very Bad". But it looks like she addressed that concern right at the beginning, mentioning her 8 year old dealt with it just fine. That made me feel a lot better.
