You may not know, but this statement is extremely TRUE! This morning, I gave a speech in my Toastmasters Club entitled "To Declaw or not to Declaw...there really is no option". I used a ton of information, including diagrams I found online at www.declawing.com . You would be amazed at the common response from EVERYONE in the room: "I didn't know that is what it was, how horrible!!!" One lady said that she was considering having her cat declawed because it seemed like a standard practive amoung cat owners. But, after my speech, said she feels guilty for not knowing. Great huh???Quote:

Also, by making declawing illegal, you are automatically painting the procedure in a negative light, which may help people who are unfamiliar with the numerous cons of declawing, yet who are constantly presented with it as an option by certain vets.
