Love All Cats And Don’t Declaw Them
Dr Mike Yurkus statement in the NJVMA Testimony at Assembly Committee Hearing 11/14/2016, “The discomfort level is no more than in a neuter than it is in the declaws that are done properly.”
INVESTIGATIVE STUDY WITH 110 RANDOM VETERINARY PRACTICES IN NEW JERSEY
Of the 97 vets who perform declaws in this study, 72% said they do them frequently, commonly, often, routinely, or on a regular basis and more than one a month.
21% said they just do around one a month, very few or not often.
7% wouldn’t say how many they do.
Only 12% offered or suggested alternatives or asked why the cat owner wanted to declaw his or her cat.
Thankful
I want to teach my brother and sister (yep twins) everything I’ve learned about love, life, and helping others. I know that they will grow up and love all animals and will treat them and other humans with respect and kindness.
The AVMA, Declawing & Cigarettes. Lies and deception.
Just like the tobacco companies did in the 30’s and 40’s for smoking, the veterinary profession started deceiving cat owners in the 50’s to believe that declawing was humane.
The veterinary associations and pro-declaw veterinarians are still perpetuating these lies and deception about declawing so that they can keep making money from this very inhumane procedure.
DECLAWING, EDUCATE, ANIMAL AB– USE, LICENSED VET, LAW, REPORT
Let’s thank the NYSVMS for reminding us that we must use our VOICES and EDUCATE the public and CAT OWNERS that DECLAWING is ANIMAL AB– USE and that we must protect all cats from LICENSED VETs who are doing this mutilating and inhumane procedure!
AVMA Veterinarian in IL deceives Clients About Declawing
It is OPTIONAL to get any pain meds for your cat and their declaw surgery. The only reason we declaw the back is if they have leather (furniture) and they are totally destroying them or if someone is on a blood thinner. But typically if they are just scratching at something , declawing the front two work out just fine.”
Pet Owners Can Dictate Vet Medicine As Long As Vets Make Money From It
AAHA’s reason they don’t have any declawing standards. “It is up to the pet owner to make the decision that is right for his or her pet. While veterinarians are there to help counsel a pet owner on a possible course of action, the ultimate decision maker is the pet owner. Part of being a responsible pet owner is being an advocate for your pet and making the choice that is in their best interest – while a veterinary hospital is a partner in that choice, it is not their choice to make at the end of the day.”
It’s a COUCH. It is replaceable. His claws are not.
I cannot find a “good” reason to declaw a cat.
If you cannot change your lifestyle in order to have a cat, you do not understand what cats require and you do not deserve to have one in your family.
4 Paw Declawed and Dumped Cat
The cat was dehydrated, emaciated, declawed on all four paws (she must have been out there for weeks with absolutely no way to defend herself nor to catch anything to eat), and covered in burrs and sores caused by the burrs.
She could hardly walk and it appeared that her paws were still in pain.
Starting Over Animal Rescue in Pennsylvania Allows And Advertises Declawing
This is the story of our life these days when we try to help protect kitties from being declawed.
Why are so many people, who supposedly are on this earth to help animals, not wanting to help us with this cause to end this animal cruelty and inhumane procedure.
Is money and a piece of furniture really more important than the welfare of a little cat?
