Abilene, Texas Should Be Called Dis-Abilene At The Rate They Declaw Cats.
Out of 13 vet clinics in Abilene, we found only 3 who do not perform declawing. One declawing vet clinic said that they will only declaw cats on all four paws if it’s for a cat who is scratching a waterbed or for leather furniture. One declawing vet was asked if declawing is bad for a cat and he said, “”It’s not good or bad. It’s all about what you want for the cat. The cat’s not making the decision, you are.”
Why Does AAHA.org Lie About Declawing and Why Do They Put Profits Over The Welfare of Cats And Allow Declawing In Their Animal Hospitals?
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.
AAHA’s Declaw Communications Toolkit To Help Their Declawing Hospitals
Remember, declawing is a $900,000 – $1,200,000,000/year business. That’s a lot of clams.
So here’s the hypocrisy in a nutshell.
AAHA has strict guidelines for compliance.
AAHA has a strong anti-declaw position.
Get ready for the big BUT…
But, they openly tell their 3500 members who pay $1070 for membership, that they don’t have to follow the AAHA declaw position. (They aren’t however, ever lax on the dentals.)

Four animal welfare organizations, who say they are against declawing, the Richmond SPCA, the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies, Best Friends Animal Society, and PETA, supported this corrupted bill with the Virginia Veterinary Medical Associations “owner’s health” amendment in it.
The Organizations That Allow Declawing
Here are many examples of those in the veterinary profession and some outside of it, who could truly help to end the inhumane procedure of declawing, but aren’t.
The Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Association Is Trying To Keep Animal Cruelty (Declawing) Legal.
The Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Association wrote in their Sept. 1, 2023 newsletter, “PVMA is involved in working behind the scenes to prevent a declaw ban from moving in the legislature. This is a tricky issue, but it would be bad precedent to have the state government decide what procedures we cannot perform on our clients animals.”
The Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Association doesn’t want to regulate their veterinarians even when it comes to this animal cruelty.
