Must see movie trailer- The Paw Project anti-declawing documentary
"Catlady" wrote in message ... http://pawprojectmovie.com/ You are probably preaching to the converted on here. It's illegal in my country unless for deep-seated nail bed infections that don't respond to any other treatment. I've never seen a declawed cat. My suggestion is that if any of you use a vet that encourages spaying/neutering and declawing at the same time, you ask why that vet thinks it's acceptable and why they suggest it. I'd be banned from my vet's surgery forever if I asked him to declaw a cat to protect my furniture or in case they ever scratched me. He'd think I was mad. Vets need to stop offering this. |

I stopped using my (otherwise caring) vet in Pasadena CA when I discovered that the "laser surgery" he advertised was for declawing! Cendrillon had been declawed before I adopted her (but I was hardly going to refuse to adopt an abandoned cat because of that). So far as the spaying or neutering at the same time as the claw surgery goes - I'd had her a week when she came in heat! |

I found this: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41599112...et-owners-say/ Well, I never knew it was also OK to cut dog's vocal cords to stop them from barking. I'm shocked. If you choose to have a dog, it will bark and if you have a cat it has claws. Either learn to live with that or don't have one. The vets here would be struck off by their governing body if they performed either surgery for the convenience of the owners. It's disgusting that a nation such as yourselves allows it. |

The man in the apartment below mine had a small dog whose vocal cords had been severed. (I agree, it's a barbarous measure - he had also had "dental surgery" to remove his "fangs".) They'd been living downstairs for quite a while before I realized those hacking noises were not a large cat with a hairball problem. The surgery didn't stop the dog from TRYING to bark, just substituted one sound for another. Wouldn't it have made better sense to simply train the dog not to bark at the slightest provocation? (They call it "obedience training", but of course it requires a little effort on the part of the dog's owner.) |

I don't understand why declawing cats and devocalizing dogs is allowed in a so-called "civilised" country. It's totally unacceptable, I blame your vets, they should refuse to do it. |

had been severed. (I agree, it's a barbarous measure - he had also had "dental surgery" to remove his "fangs".) They'd been living downstairs for quite a while before I realized those hacking noises were not a large cat with a hairball problem. The surgery didn't stop the dog from TRYING to bark, just substituted one sound for another. Wouldn't it have made better sense to simply train the dog not to bark at the slightest provocation? (They call it "obedience training", but of course it requires a little effort on the part of the dog's owner.) There's been a striking change in the urban environment since I arrived in Scotland in 1976. You don't hear dogs barking anywhere near as much. I suspect the main reason is that their owners treat them more kindly than they used to. Surgery like you're describing would get a vet struck off and criminally prosecuted in the UK. (You also don't hear birds chirping at dawn - but that's because they're nearly extinct. Dog numbers haven't changed much). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |
