That's what I think too, some receptionists have no actual knowledge, and since vets aren't required to do the taping, probably thought you meant cropping, which has been outlawed.
Remember, sometimes just shaving the ear is enough to make them stand, and shaving should always be done before you tape. I wouldn't use duct tape, it doesn't allow the skin to breath, either masking tape, or tape meant for human skin would be better. Also, some members have said that they would rub the ears a few minutes each day, encouraging blood supply, and this was all that was needed.
