A Michael Broad Blog
Morning readers. You’ll notice I didn’t say good today. I’d planned to just read a little on the new laser declawing technique that’s being shoved down the throats of the ignorant cat owner.

by Donna Mankenta (Eagle Rock, CA) Kudos to the groups that brought pressure on the Los Angeles and Burbank City Councils to enact bans on declawing!

Have you ever wondered why a veterinarian and their human client (the cat’s “owner”) get away with mutilating cats in the USA, when declawing them? I have. I am shocked. If two people, neither …
