What a cruel thing to do to an animal. I would never have my babies declawed! What's the purpose? To save furniture...isn't that what "cat trees" and scratching posts are for? When I lived in Dallas I stopped shopping at a certain furniture store because the salesman, who was really trying to sell me leather furniture, suggested that I just have my cats declawed and then it wouldn't be a problem for me to have leather furniture! If a declawed cat ever got out of their house, they couldn't properly defend themself! This on top of the fact that they've had a very painful alteration made to their paws! No declawing!

Not sure what "RS" means by "wasted". Do you think it is not important to protect animals and to have laws in place that protect them from cruel and mutilating surgery???

There is an excellent article written by Veterinarian, Dr. Christianne Schelling on Citizens for Animal Protection's website.
"Before you make the decision to declaw your cat, there are some important facts you should know. Declawing is not like a manicure. It is serious surgery. Your cat's claw is not a toenail. It is actually closely adhered to the bone. So closely adhered that to remove the claw, the last bone of your the cat's claw has to be removed. Declawing is actually an amputation of the last joint of your cat's "toes". When you envision that, it becomes clear why declawing is not a humane act. It is a painful surgery, with a painful recovery period."

Tax payers' money was actually wasted on court costs and lawyers fees for this?! What a silly country we live in.
