The only time I would consider that cruel, just like spaying or neutering would be if they didn't put the pet under.
Declawing a cat is no different to me than spaying or neutering a cat or dog. I would consider it cruel if you didn't put them under. I would consider it cruel if you had an outdoor cat and declawed them. Outdoor cats need their claws. Indoor cats do not. Just like indoor cats don't need their penises or vaginas.
You didn't respond...you said your cat will never get out...but he did, didn't he?
