What is cruel is feeding crappy dog food. Leaving a dog to live outside, not training your dog, hitting your dog, tying your dog out, not providing proper vet care, allowing a dog to suffer, trying home remedies rather than treating things properly, people who breed their pets too young, leaving your dog along for hours and hours every day.. Not including your dog as part of the family.. Not treating your dog like a dog.. eating dogmeat.. letting them join in a dog fight match..There are far more things that people do daily, that are far more cruel than ear cropping and tail docking.. But these people who are against cropping ears are the very same people who leave their dogs tied in the back yard ... If you want the ears cropped, it's your right to have it done, don't listen to what others tell you. If you don't want to do the after care, don't think you can do it properly, then leave them natural.
