I'm going to put it very simply:

If you think that devocalization is cruel, sign here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/be.....the-voiceless/

If you don't know what devocalization is, I suggest you google it. If you don't want to do that, here's a short version of what it is:

Devocalization is a risky veterinary surgery which involves cutting the vocal folds on an animal (usually a dog) in order to quiet their voice. There are many serious negative side effects, which can lead to death, including infection, regrowth of scar tissue, choking, and more

Here's a wikipedia page about it, which is actually extremely accurate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devocalization
