“If Subaru insists on looking the other way while enabling this cruelty, it should stop pretending,” City the Kitty said. “Call it what it is: *‘Subaru Loves Dogs.’* Because clearly, Subaru has shown it does not love cats.”

  LAKEWOOD, Colo. (Sept. 29, 2025) — The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA),  claims to be the gold standard in veterinary excellence, is under fire for refusing to ban the cruel and outdated practice of cat declawing—unless its member hospitals and veterinarians, many of which still perform and profit from the procedure, support the ban. […]

On August 12, 2025, AAHA announced their 4 finalists for AAHA's 2025 Practice of the Year. 3 of them declaw cats. One of them even advertises their laser declawing on their website and minimizes the long term suffering and risks to the cat's health and well being. https://www.bluespringsanimalhospital.com/hospital/surgery

More than 4,500 practices representing 50,000 veterinary team members pay thousands of dollars to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA.org), a company that allows a barbaric, antiquated, and inhumane amputation procedure (declawing) so they can be branded as hospitals that deliver quality medicine, embody the “gold standard” of excellence, and raise the bar for the veterinary profession. This deceives pet owners into believing accreditation guarantees excellence.

The ASPCA claims to be the nation’s voice to prevent animal cruelty — yet when it comes to declawing, it sides with veterinarians who profit from this act of mutilation, not with cats. The ASPCA's declawing position shamefully condones cat declawing — a cruel and inhumane amputation procedure — hiding behind the flimsy excuse that in rare cases it might prevent euthanasia. If the ASPCA truly cared about saving cats from being euthanized, they’d just support the humane alternatives to declawing or re-homing, not this barbaric and inhumane mutilation. They would also support laws to ban declawing. The ASPCA’s declawing...

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) updated their declawing position statement in June 2021. They say they strongly oppose declawing, explaining that declawing is no longer a reasonable or supported procedure… But then they say if veterinarians are going to declaw, they should use pain meds before, during, and after.

In one sentence he said he was, "impressed by my passion and dedication", and that I'm someone who is working hard to help pets and do good in the world. He said that he hopes I see similar characteristics in him. And in the next sentence he said he didn't feel inspired but he felt attacked. Hmmmm. How did I attack him? I simply asked some questions in a private email as to why so many employees at his practice that is a AAHA, AAFP Cat Friendly hospital were saying that they are a high volume declawing practice and that...

In 2019, a spokesman for the billionaire Reimann family—whose ancestors profited under the Nazi regime—said, "The whole truth must be put on the table." Here’s a truth still hidden: The Reimanns built part of their immense fortune on human suffering, and today, they allow cat suffering to continue. Through their firm JAB Holding Co., they own NVA, the largest U.S. network of vet hospitals—over 1,400 clinics—many of which still perform declawing, a cruel amputation procedure their own Medical Board has called "inhumane." The cruelty didn’t stop with history. It just changed form.
