Declawing horror story

[aki]

I just read this story in the local news. I think that this is horrible! That poor kitty must be in so much pain! It totally makes me sick.

The sadest part is vets do the same thing and charge for it, but at least those cats get drugs

Not quite PIF. This kitten had torn muscles and tendons; no effort was made to do it the way a Vet would. It was done by someone who had absolutely no knowledge of cat anatomy. The article doesn't get as specific as the TV newscast did.

Thanks for correcting me... I hope the kitten gets better

People are so cruel. I knew a guy who wanted to dock his dog's tail himself. Someone stole the dog before he could do it, though. I hope this kitten is able to live and have the use of his limbs and paws. Hope we'll get updated!

I'm going to try to call the Vet tomorrow and see how he is doing - and I want to donate some $ $ $ for his care.
