American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) Confirmed That Declawing Is Their Dirty Little Secret

Declawing is a dirty little secret to which the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) gives a nod and a wink.

Texas Coalition for ANIMAL PROTECTION Stopped Declawing Cats in 2017!

I’ve been trying to inspire Texas Coalition of Animal Protection to stop declawing since early 2015 by respectfully reaching out to them in private messages to their offices, to their Executive Director and Founder, Stacey Shumacher, and on their social media pages.

Maybe you can help me respectfully inspire them to STOP doing this inhumane and harmful procedure to lots of cats each year.
