*snort* she'd just pooh pooh it away like everything else, ask for proof, then ignore the proof even though she read that that proof was tainted. Tainted proof? Extrapolate the data any way you want to fit your agenda, just don't speak for me. I never pooh poohed anything. It seems as though you have labeled me as something I am not. -Sharon |

Of course. She's got things like mortgage payments to think about. You
think she's going to like arguments against easy income? Puhleeze. Before you assume things about me, why don't you ask. If you go and look you will see that declawing at our practice is not even close to a regular procedure and only a last resort procedure. Easy income? Hardly. That said, stopping the practice of declawing will need more than laws. As in other countries, vets will have to Just Say No. It boils down to attitudes in society at large. And sometimes in a very few cases it needs to be an option. VERY FEW CASES. I understand your views and I sympathize. But a blind attack on my character is uncalled for. -Sharon |

Thinking people do tend to pooh-pooh the bleatings of people who try to
pass of the rare complication as a common and expected result. You should look at the Lasik groups and you'll see how you're more likely to go blind than not by having the procedure if you were to listen to them. Oh - can of worms - here's the can opener. Don't cut yourself. Be prepared to be labeled and maligned - no rational exchange of ideas accepted. -Sharon |

This is the standard, I dare say AVMA-style "official", copout from vets all over North America - the only area in the world where this cruel and barbaric practice is condoned. I hear that the CVMA is going to take this line in the California AB 395 hearings - that declawing is a minor, almost insignificant part of their practices, a last resort only under duress, yada yada yada. Okay. Why not offer numbers? How many cats does your practice declaw, as a percentage of total cats treated, every year? And do you think your numbers are representative, typical of vets in your area or your state or across the US? Would you care to offer an estimate anyway? | Easy income? Hardly. I beg your pardon? It's money for something that need not be done at all. Gravy. | As in other countries, vets will have to Just Say No. It boils down | to attitudes in society at large. | | And sometimes in a very few cases it needs to be an option. VERY FEW CASES. Like what? Vets in other countries have no trouble saying "no cases". You might want to think who is suffering the ethical deficiency, vets in the rest of the world, or vets in North America. Because it *does* boil down to ethics and attitudes. | I understand your views and I sympathize. I don't think you do. That is, I doubt that you sympathize with my view that vets who declaw are morally deficient, if not defective. | But a blind attack on my character is uncalled for. I read the thread in alt.med.veterinary. The issue isn't your character. It's what you're trying to evade. |
