It would be a good idea to get it x-rayed by a vet to see if there are other problems besides the missing tail. If its just missing the tail, and has no other problems, I dont see why it would be a disaster to keep it alive. Even if someone eventually breeds it, so what? I'm sure lots of people would want little tailess beardies, and its not like its a super functional/necessarily appendage on a beardie. If its not coupled with other problems(very big "if" there) then I see no harm. People jump all over lizards with no scales, but one with no tail should be killed? I just dont see it.
Now if the x-ray shows lots of other health issues, it should definentily be put down.
