I'll be cropping just about any breed I own if it's traditionally done, and without remorse. Then again, I would work any purebred dog I bought, so there would likely be a benefit to them. I laugh hysterically at boxers or Dobes with their ears cropped so tall they flop over while they walk... that has nothing to do with function and any dog of mine would have a working, practical crop. It cracks me up when people say, "I only agree with it for the showing," like it makes a difference to dog. I'm sure he'll be more ok with because he got some ribbons. On the other, I'm fairly certain a big game dog would appreciate NOT having his ears shredded by a wild boar.
Hey, at least my dogs will get to keep their natural sex organs and hormones (at least) until they're physically and mentally mature. No unnecessary castration here.

(Oh yes, I went there...)
I wouldn't tattoo a cat, but if it's done under anesthesia and with proper after care I honestly can't say it bothers me. If kitty gets food, a warm bed, and a visit to the vet once a year, I'll mind my own business.
And if we're still circumcising little boys without their permission, cropping and docking had better remain up to the owner. Routine circumcision better go before cropping and docking do. (The "medical benefits" of circumcision are by and large medical myth/propaganda or negated by simple hygiene, and unlike animals, kids grow up and have rights to their own body and can wonder, "Why?")
That's my piece; have at me! :rofl:
