Hardly cruel to do a slight mod and then give a fkn dog a home for the rest of its life (or rehome as the case may be). Don't be ridiculous.

With barking being a stress / stimulation indicator for dogs, if you remove it or punish them for it, you'll be increasing the likelihood of an unprovoked bite.
Would you rather a dog tell you to back off with a bark / growl or get bit in the face? Removing their vocal chords may also have side effects such as that.
