I've always associated it with a pup mill practice.
Horrid and cruel, it however was a HUGE trend in the larger cities.

Many people allowed to have dogs in their apartments or town houses were doing this because of barking citations, after three you are fined so much and then you might loose your dog.

many cities have changed this now, people are seeking alternative treatments such as electronic off the dog detour ants and -go figure some basic training-unfortunately no-bark shock or static collars are also popular for this issue now.


Sadly many dogs are repeatably de-barked as the barking can return over time the procedure fails.
