OMG IT'S CRYING!!!! (starts crying)

De-clawing is illegal in the UK, with good reason. It’s like cutting off a cat’s fingertips.

This is one of the most cruel and barbarous things to do to a cat. The US should outlaw it. It is against the law in NY and Denver CO.

Cats need their claws for self defence- climbing trees and scratching their attacker. People who want cats as pets need to invest in scratching poles and the like...

Thankfully, Germany also banned de-clawing! Along with cupping ears and tails for dogs. It's considered animal cruelty, which it is.

My childhood pet was a cat who after I left home my mom decided she was too much of a burden so she let her go live outside. They had her declawed years before and she died within 3 months from an animal attack. Thanks mom.

WAIT WE ACTUALLY TAKE THE WHOLE CLAW?! I thought that we only trim it, like with a house cat.

I once knew a cat who was declawed in early youth, the front paws only. I by no means want to justify this cruel practice - I was shocked when I looked at her paws closely ... you really SEE there's something missing, even years after. This cat was a really competent cat nevertheless - she would climb trees I'd hesitate with intact fingers. That this is not allowed is totally right! Many cats don't get along with sawed off fingers, she may have been an exception (and, finally, was adopted into a loving and caring home - we never knew who did this, her story was pretty sad in many respects ... rescued out of a container for glass, full of broken bottles, ...). Report people who do this! We can't reply in kind, but we can make sure every law protecting animals is not only written but brough into effect.

I still can't believe that any vet would agree to do something like this...disgusting 😡

De clawing is inhumane and barbaric, I can't believe it is legal in some parts of America. Its always been illegal in the UK.

this isn't legal here. I'm not sure why it is elsewhere.

I rescued a cat that had been declawed. It was awful. Her little feet were so sensitive that she whined with each step. Wish I could have declared her former owner 😠

How would you feel if your fingers and toes were cut off? That’s the same as declawing a cat, making it more likely to fall or get attacked and cannot defend. So now you have a seriously high vet bill because you declawed a cat, besides, it causes a great deal of pain.

De-Clawing is illegal in NYS finally ...So Grateful !!

The USA seem to have no animal rights whatsoever. They can de claw animals..stick wires in dogs ears to make them stand up..cut off their tails and keep all sorts of "Exotic pets" Thank goodness Australia and NZ follow the UK's laws

Quit declawing cats. It's basically cutting off their fingers. PUT YOURSELF IN THAT SITUATION

No! No declawing! Cats need loooove!

For humans it would be cutting off the last joint on our fingers. Claws are a cat's first defense; many declawed cats start biting; litter boxes are painful for them to use so they start eliminating "inappropriately". Humans should learn to trim cat's claws instead of declawing.

My hands are covered in scratches and my carpets are wrecked in places. Threads hang from the sofa and knitwear ends up with pulls. Do I care? NO. It's part of owning cats. They're happy, healthy and pain free (and a little annoying for ignoring their multiple scratching posts, pads and furniture). The only thing that needed removing were their balls!

That’s so sad

We don’t declaw our cat

These cruel people should get their finger and toe nails chopped off 😡

😭😭😭😭

Why do they do these things? Like what do they do with the claws?

I’m torn with this... I wasn’t going to declaw my cat... but then I’d come home from work and find him crying cuz his claws got stuck in something and he couldn’t get them out... this happened ALL the time. He’d lick his claws and bite them cuz they were always mangled up from whatever he got them stuck in.. until finally I declared him fully. He’s never been happier.

omfg this is so important right now

this may be a horse, but his trainers are asses.
