PS- that statement was very Brandyesque. I noticed you haven't denied
being Brandy but have denied being a Katra sock.

Katra does not have the software/hardware to be a sockpuppet yet...
When she does have the money to do so, (and have not spent it on the
cats),
watch out. ;-) She does know about IP identification.

K.

Zed1 is Katra, and yes she does cos someone pointed it out to her

Wrong again. People ask to have their dogs declawed all the time.
Their claws can cause a lot more damage than a cats.


They do, do they?
*ROFLMFAO*

Okay then. If you say so.

*snicker*

(For the people out there who might not know, some dogs have ONE digit
removed from each FRONT paw - the dewclaw. It never touches the ground
and in hunting and sporting breeds, has a tendency to get ripped off
during trials. Some dogs also may damage their eyes when rubbing their
faces too vigorously. Breeders remove the dewclaws of day-old puppies to
prevent major damage from such situations. Since that toe never touches
the ground and has no use, it is certainly not equivalent to a full
declaw. Also by the by, this procedure is banned in some countries as
well. If tail docking is illegal, chances are dewclawing is.)

This whole declawing debate being detrimental to the cat is ridiculous!
I have one cat that I rescued from the shelter that is front declawed.

She has yet to have a SINGLE one of the problems mentioned here!
AFAIK, you are all sooo full of ****! Just a bunch of PETA coverts.
And scare mongers...


You have one declawed cat that has no problems? Well, I'm convinced.
Golly gee, I should have seen it. That settles that. One cat had no
problems at all. Must be safe. Thanks!

In theory, that's great, but that's not what happens. There
aren't enough homes. Do you know how hard it is finding someone
to take an adult cat?


Why, yes, I volunteer at a shelter. Funny how many declaws we
have, too.

You're grasping at straws. People give their cats away for a miriad of
stupid reasons, whether the cat has claws or not.



Funny how you missed the entire point below. The post had nothing to do
with why people give up cats - I said there are already declawed cats at
shelters if you want one. You don't need to mutilate one that has its
claws.

If you disagree with a point, do try to counter-point with something
relevant, eh?


There is no justification or rationalization for mutilation.

If she wanted one with no claws, there are plenty of already
declawed cats at the shelter. She should have adopted one of those
rather than mutilate yet another animal that is already aggressive
and will now probably become a biter. Not all declawed cats bite,
of course, and I'm not saying they do. An animal that is already
aggressive will find a way to continue to be so. He doesn't have
claws. He now has only teeth. Good luck.

If toes are all the same, why aren't dogs routinely declawed?


Because they don't use their claws the same way cats do.
Do I really need to explain that to you or were you being purposefully
disingenuous?

Dogs shouldn't bite kids. Period. I pity your kids when they get bit
in the face and you say "well, you shouldn't have stuck your face in
the dog's mouth."


My kids would know better. I certainly did.

Kids only know what their parents bother to teach them. Small children
incapable of knowing how to treat an animal shouldn't be around them
unsupervised. I wasn't.

Funny how many people manage to raise kids and animals together just
fine without having to mutilate the pets.

Your pity should be reserved for your own kids if they don't have a
parent who cares enough to teach them how to respect animals. It is for
their own safety as much as for the animals. If you don't know that by
now, there's nothing I can do for you.
