Amen.
If only this would become illegal everywhere. Don't have a cat if you want to take away its claws.
So according to them we are to condone abuse and mutilation so pet owners don't dump or kill their pets. Sounds more like a threat than any real concern for the cats.
Amen.
Did anyone notice this gem from the article?
However, some medical professionals, including the New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association, oppose the bill. In a statement release to petMD, the NJVMA says that because so many pet parents who are unwilling or unable to change their cat's scratching behaviors, they are "likely to abandon or euthanize their cats if de-clawing is not an option.
Yeah right. More like it will cut into profits for those vets who are opposed. Anyone who would have a cat euthanized because they are not allowed to declaw it should A) Not have a cat to begin with or B) rehome the cat and get a pet rock. Any vet who would euthanize a cat because the owner is upset that declawing it is not an option should not be a vet- at least not for cats.
