Wouldn't it be more like removing the finger and toe nails of a human?

FUD alert! FUD alert!

Just because it's on the intarweb doesn't make it true.
In many European countries the practice is forbidden under the terms of the European Convention for the Protection of Pet Animals[2] , unless there is a medical indication for the procedure, or a veterinarian considers it beneficial to the animal.
Some European countries go further, such as Finland, the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland[3], where declawing cats for non-medical reasons is always illegal under their laws against cruelty to animals.

ATOT is full of assholes.
Since you're so internet savvy, why don't YOU look up the animal acts on their respective governmental websites? I'm sure it would take you all of 10 seconds :roll:

Yet you have no issue severing the head of a horse and leaving it in my bed. :roll:

Canai, I'm not trying to be an ass. But seriously, don't post propaganda and expect it to be taken at anything less than "less" than face value. My main point is just because you read it on the intarweb or can google up something cannot replace personal experience.
My kitties are declawed, I didn't want to do it but had to. You will find some of the happiest kittys there are.
Do you own cats? If so, how long?
