Petition: Ban Cat Declawing (Amputation) In the United States
by Finn Frode, Denmark
(Copenhagen)
Here’s another petition in need of your signature. I think the following very clearly explains, why declawing is animal cruelty.
Most people do not recognize that Declawing is an extremely painful procedure which eliminates the claws by amputating part of the toes. To understand the procedure better it is identical to cutting all of your fingers off at the top knuckle.
This cruel procedure creates weeks of painful healing and ultimately effects the cat’s behavior permanently. In addition, should the cat ever leave the home it renders them absolutely defenseless.

Fantastic Jane – well done. We totally agree with you.
