What is another word for Devocalize?
Pronunciation: [dɪvˈɒkə͡lˌa͡ɪz] (IPA) 
Devocalize is a term used to describe the inhumane practice of surgically removing a dog's or cat's vocal cords to eliminate its ability to bark or meow. This practice is illegal in many countries and is considered cruel and unnecessary. The term "devocalize" itself is often replaced with less offensive terminology, such as "debarking" or "vocal cordectomy." Other synonyms include "silencing," "deafening," or "muting." In some cases, the term "stamping" is used, as the procedure is seen as a way to permanently silence the animals. It is important to remember that devocalization is a cruel practice and we should explore alternatives to address behavioral issues in our furry companions.
