My thoughts exactly! My pooches bark and growl when they play tug-o-war. I can't imagine not hearing any sound coming from their beautiful little lips. I would miss their barking terribly if anything ever happened to their vocal cords. And what if the dog is in pain? It would need to whimper to let you know something is wrong. Or what if the dog is scared or someone hurts it -- How can they let their owner know if they cannot bark? It's just too cruel and I would never ever force it upon one of my precious pooches.
