To crop or not to crop?

[tikeyas_mom]

my parents were going to get Baby's ears cropped at 3 months.... but we desided against it because the vet told us it was a painful healing process... and sometimes, even after taping and healing is through the crop doesnt stay and the ears will flop.. so all of the pain was done for nothing... i think it is really just for looks, it doesnt serve much purpose.. ... ...
