A petition calling on the Scottish government to reverse a ban on tail docking for working dogs is due to be submitted at Holyrood later.
The Scottish Gamekeepers Association said Alex Salmond promised such a move if it could be backed up by evidence.
The group said many dogs suffered agonising tail injuries while working in thick undergrowth.
Animal rights charity OneKind said docking the tails of puppies caused "pain and distress".

Louise asks: Should the ban on tail docking be overturned?

The Government has said that it won't intervene to stop travel companies putting up their prices during school holidays. More than 167,000 people have now signed a petition calling for a "cap" on charges, claiming parents are facing massive hikes when the schools are off. At the moment, head-teachers have the discretion to allow parents to take their children out of school for short spells in "exceptional circumstances". Critics say some holiday firms are "exploiting" hard pressed families by bumping up their prices at peak times. The Government is reluctant to impose regulations in what is a competitive industry. But the government's suggested there may be scope for individual schools to vary their holiday dates in the hope of bringing down prices.

Louise asks: What is the solution to expensive family breaks?
