(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(AAHA), claims to be the gold standard in veterinary excellence, is under fire for refusing to ban the cruel and outdated practice of cat declawing—unless its member hospitals and veterinarians, many of which still perform and profit from the procedure, support the ban.

What Every AAHA Con 2025 Attendee Should Know & Why AAHA’s Idea of Excellence Includes Cat Cruelty
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’s Antiquated Declawing Position Is a Gift to Veterinarians Who Profit From This Barbaric Cruelty
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 position has been used by veterinary medical associations and pro-declaw vets to block anti-declawing laws in Wyoming (2021), Arizona (2022), and Illinois (2023), helping protect profits rather than cats.
Why Does AAHA.org Lie About Declawing, 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.
A Legacy of Cruelty: Reimann Family’s Veterinary Company, NVA, Allows Declawing Despite Calling It Inhumane.
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.
