I think they should pass a law that anyone who wants the surgery should watch a live video of how its done and have more advertisment of alternet ways of providing protection. Might I ask how harmful are cats claws anyways, most cats aren't just going to randomly attack someone, inless their being playful they don't know what their doing. If de-clawing prosedure goes wrong you could physically scar and deform your cat for life, even though de-clawing is a type of deforming a cat.
yes i realize that I'll probably get flamed for this, but I don't really care.


The first bolded part REALLY offended me. We've always gotten our cats declawed, so does that mean I'm inhumane? My mom's always made the call and yes she did know how it was done. 6 of our 7 cats have been declawed, and not ONE of them have had any problems from it. Are we just amazingly lucky, or is it less dangerous then you guys have been making it seem?

Thats all for now :]

I don't want to hi-jack this thread (a little late, eh?) so and I don't want it to turn into a fight of whether declawing is right or wrong..so please, if you have problems with my post, pm me.
