My owner/Mom works at a cat clinic, that happens to declaw, and she HATES it..... Everytime someone calls up to ask about how much it costs etc, she cringes and hands the phone to another employee. People think it's some "simple" procedure, when they're just ignorant and dont even know! That's the worst! Putting their cats through such a horrible tramatic surgery for no reason, and they don't even know what we're going through. It's disgusting. Check out the links I have attatched to the group.

My mom runs an animal rescue and will not adopt the rescued kitties out to homes who want to declaw. She also has links on her rescue site that explain the procedure and all the complications that can arise. You can access that site through my page.

Would it be possible for your Mom to get some information together and print it into a packet she could give to clients to educate them? My mom has some good information on it if you need more.

Unforunately it's a sensitive subject at her work! She can barely speak to the other co-workers because it's a service they offer and to discourage it would be losing them business, thats how the look at it.....cry

My Meowmy is a 4-H club leader, as well as the cat project superintendant for our county. She is working on having the 4-H kids do some sort of educational display for our county fair about the cruelty of declawing. It's mutilation! Kitties have a right to our claws. I know, I am preaching to the choir here. Some people simply need education about declawing, so many don't know how horrible it is. Our 4-H club is working on educating the public about declawing, as well as the importance of spay/neutering. My meowmy also volunteers at out local humane society so she sees a lot of people there and has talked to several people about declawing.

That's good! Education is a big part of the problem! People just think it's a simple procedure, and their furniture is more important. It kills me that people do this painful horrible procedure JUST for vanity! The site that are posted as links are very informative, I'm working to add more to this group, if anyone has any ideas, let me know! Thanks! ~MEOW~

My mommy got a lot of info from her friend, but it's all in "myspace" code and won't post right here. She said if you want her to email the files to you she can, but you will either have to decode them or look at them on myspace.
