"Declawing cats is a very hot topic for debate. For many
years now, animal rights people have lied and deceived the
public into believing that declawing cats is the most
inhumane and horrible procedure on the planet. The truth is,
is a common surgical procedure done under anesthesia and if
done correctly, there will not be any lasting effects..."

Then why is it illegal in almost all of Europe? PETA doesn't have
*that* much reach...

I'm not crazy about animal-rights fanatics myself, but that doesn't
mean that everything they say is wrong.
