A not so nice thing about my new job

[Kirsten]

Kelly, I can understand your pain and anger very well; I couldn't stand that either! It must be hard to see these things happening day by day and you have to keep your mouth shut because you depend on your job!

Besides, I really don't understand why the practice of declawing is still allowed in so many parts of the world. It's an amputation, and it's cruel and painful, period!

Here in Germany, it's illegal to declaw cats, so we happily wear our scars from happy cats with claws!

I was thinking... Maybe we could all (ehm, well, all of us who are against it) start an anti-declawing campaign on the net and make it public, especially in countries that still allow declawing. People should realize what it really means, it's like removing the first bone from your finger!

Thanks again everyone for your comments, I just read them again and wanted to thank you for your ideas, opinions and support.

I knew you would all understand what I was feeling.

The worst part was/is the emphasis they place on declawing. It shouldn't be something standard...which it is there. That, and the lack of education/options given to the clients of these poor cats.

We had a lady bring her cat in for a declaw because "the Soft Paws kept coming off" Hello??? Do YOUR nails grow? Do YOUR nails break???? People are so stupid.... But then, at least she tried, so I guess I can't be too mad...its more than most the others even think about.

I think I'm going to stay there. I can deal with it. I think it'll charge my desire to get it outlawed...

Shhhh....don't tell my employer!!! ha ha
