A happy life in a home with people that take care of you or living in a cage or worse, being euthanized?

Then I can allow de-clawing. But we can still work on educating people on alternatives - I think education is more powerful than legislation.

We used to have a de-clawed cat and she lived to be 17 years old and had a great life.

btw-our cats right now are not de-clawed.
