Western Veterinary Partners Says, “We Believe Every Pet Deserves a Healthy, Happy Life.” So Why Do They Allow Declawing?
Western Veterinary Partners (WVP) CEO Carollee Brinkman mentors others in leadership and animal health while leading one of the largest veterinary group companies in the U.S with over 300 clinics.
Yet under her leadership, Western Veterinary Partners (WVP) continues to allow their vet clinics to perform declawing — a harmful and inhumane procedure that amputates the last bones of a cat’s toes.
The contradiction raises a fundamental question: How can a company that says every pet deserves a “healthy, happy life” and claims to put people first continue to allow declawing when it harms cats and creates ethical conflict and harm for veterinary professionals and staff who oppose it?
Note To #NOMV Supporters Who Are Attacking, Harassing, and Bullying City the Kitty
NOMV supporters are trying to destroy our important mission to protect innocent cats from this cruel, inhumane, and barbaric amputation procedure by harassing us and bullying us and by accusing us of being a bully.
We are all about educating and shining light on the injustice of declawing. That’s it. We always take the high road and ask our supporters to do the same.
So the facts are that NOMV supporters who are attacking us are the cyber bullies, not us.
Declawing Is Not Only Bad For Cats But It’s Also Causing Moral Injury to Veterinary Professionals & Staff, Animal Shelter Workers, and Cat Owners
We have data, peer reviewed studies, and notes from veterinarians to show you that declawing is contributing to mental and moral stress in the veterinary profession. If declawing is banned, it will improve the mental health and well-being in many veterinarians and veterinary professionals.
