Eh, I don't really care for it. As a reformed declawer, it didn't take such graphics for me. Just education. And, I find it a bit offensive with some of the recent medical events in my family.

I thought it was pretty interesting. It gave the perspective on declawing and how a HUMAN would feel having it done to them.

I am also a reformed declawer. LOOOONG before I understood the pain and agony a cat goes through declawing, I had Mollie Rose and RB Casey "Bubba Dude" declawed. When they came back from the surgery and I saw the bloody paws, I got down on my knees and begged for their forgiveness. NEVER, EVER again!!!

Wow, that's kind of spooky! But definitely gets the point across about declawing.

wow
I have more to say but can't really put it into words so I better not.

Interesting story.
So when do we find out who you really are Mystery Pet Talker?
And are you really from the "Land of Mists" or are you from somewhere in the USA, like Oregon perhaps?

Strange - I had an initial inclination as to who this Mystery PTer might be, perhaps California. Now I'm not sure. Hmmmmmmmm.

IMHO this belongs in the Dog House. It is well written and thought provoking, but not all of us like to be confronted with graphic info re declawing without a bit of prior warning.
