: The morality of it is subjective. I believe it is very immoral to amputate the end of a cat's toes for human convenience. You're entitled to your opinion. I do it for the cat's convenience - it saves its life. -- Un-elect Dubya in 2004 John Kerry for President |

I don't know about ethical, that's a subjective call, but I had it done to my cat before I realized what it was and it turned out to be a really stupid move. (I guess I just thought they removed *only the claws.* I had no idea they cut off the toe bone and deformed the cat's feet.) Why was it stupid? She got really mean, turned into a biter, and never again covered her waste in the cat box. It would be doubly stupid for anyone to declaw an outdoor tom. Might just as well kill him, as he'll wind up dead or worse. |
