    Gary said it best. Until people put their pets over their beloved furniture, nothing is gonna change.

    Yes he worded it the best.. Hey the way I see it if you are going to have a cat then value the baby over the furniture.. Also buy some scratching post as well..

    Even worse is that a lot of declawed cats end up in shelters because being deprived of their claws for defence,some turn to biting,some stop using the litter tray etc .So the selfish people who had it done for the sake of their furniture, blame the cat and get rid of it.
    Yes if people would stop asking for it, it would be far better than struggling for a ban,if vets would explain it's as a last resort, not to be done to kittens routinely etc etc ...
    Thanks to anyone who has signed the petition,there's not much else we can do from here so we may as well keep on.

    Hi, and welcome to PT. I'm very much against declawing, so I'm glad someone is tryng to educate people not to. Declawing is also banned in Denmark, where I live.

    There are so many other options than declawing, and vets should be the first to know this, and tell cat owners!

    Good luck with the petition!

    Welcome to Pet Talk, Kattaddorra! I signed the petition, but had to go the Petitionthem website directly. The link didn't work for me either.

    Declawing cats is a horrible practice. It should have been banned long ago, and I'm glad to see someone finally taking a stand in this matter.
