In my opinion yes it is indeed cruel to crop the dogs ears.

There's no real good reason other than cosmetic conditions to crop a dogs ears although the dog doesn't feel any pain during the cropping of their ears because they are usually put under sedation during the cropping of the ears.

But still it's cruel to do it and I personally do not like the look of a dog with cropped ears although I still like the dog but I think it makes the dog look worse without it's natural ear shape.

Unless it's medically necessary I think it's cruel to do any procedure such as cropping the dogs ears when it's not really needed.

Now spaying and neutering is a different story as sometimes that is really necessary to keep the pet population down when so many dogs and cats do not have good homes.
