San Francisco looking into banning declawing...

Sounds more like Mr Nunez doesn't want the government interfering with his money making practices.

do they still allow ear cropping and tail docking? Frankly I think they need to keep their laws off of our paws, but I do suppose folks can still get it done outside the city if they wanted.

Bingo. We have a winner.

People who have cancer and are being treated by cemo, AIDS patients, and others with auto immune disease would put themselves in danger if they were scratched. For that purpose I feel there should be no law. Vets can make a choice on weather they perform the surgery or not.
I have had all my cats front declawed at least 15 in the past 30 years and not one ever had a problem. My furniture is also in great shape. My carpets however are not, Ki-Ki has an infection again and is peeing in the house.

Tail docking, ear cropping and declawing has been banned here for years. Not one vet is willing to do it anymore so if anyone still wants it done they have to drive 500 miles away to the nearest city that have vets willing to do it.

Great news!

Nancy Pelosi should volunteer to be first?

Richard your such a bad boy.. Hey I wish they would OutLaw it in Every State.. It just un-nerves me to no end for Vet to do declawing.. Then most of the time the people dont keep the cat anyways & they sit in shelters for the rest of their lives.. Grrrr

The ones that wind up in shelters are relatively lucky. What is the absolute worst is all the ones that are just abandoned, tossed out to fend for themselves.
