I AGREE WHOLE HARDLY THE OWNERSHIP OF BOTH A CAT & DOG.

I KNOW IT HAS HAPPEN TO A FAMILY I KNOW. PLUS THERE SO MANY OTHER BENEFITS TO GAIN. FOR EXAMPLE, HAVING THE KIDS TAUGHT ABOUT RESPONSIBLY, NOT BEING CRUEL, THE LOVE THAT IS GIVEN BACK FROM THE PETS & THE LONG LISTS OF OTHER BENEFITS.

I SEE BOTH SIDES OF DE-CLAWING. YES, WHEN IT COMES TO THE OUTDOORS OF DE-CLAWING ALL 4 PAWS. WE HAD A NEIGHBOR WHO DONE ALL 4 PAWS WHEN INSTEAD OF THE FRONT PAWS ONLY. SHE LIVED FOR OVER 12 YEARS.

IT IS THE FRONT DEW CLAW THAT DOES THE MOST HARM. THE REASON IS THEY NEVER GET WORN DOWN, IT BECOMES ONLY SHARPER.

THERE ARE MEDICAL REASONS FOR DE-CLAWING BUT ONLY THE FRONT PAWS.

I agree that politicians shouldn't regulate the medical procedures. They screw everything up. Also, you may think I am cruel, but my four kitties are front declawed, happy, spoiled rotten and look wonderful. The best part is, they have a furever home!
