I simply do not understand why people leave their small child unattended with *any* animal. I love my animals dearly, and trust that they would never in any way hurt DS, but I *do not* leave him alone with them, even for a second. His potential of hurting *them* is so much greater than vice-verse. -L. |

"Monique Y. Mudama" wrote in message ... We do not need anti-mutilation laws. We've never declawed cats here. We found out you did and and decided to make it illegal here anyway in case anyone thought furniture was more important than cats feet. Does any other country in the world declaw cats? I wouldn't think so, it's barbaric. I believe you, but please don't be angry in my direction. I'm not. It's just that the whole declawing thing makes me wild. Sorry. Maybe if the subject comes up again, I'd better not join in. Tweed Sorry; I was in a poor mood and I felt like you were directing your comments at me. Obviously you weren't, as I find declawing as abhorrent as you do. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Before LB decided to move in, I was ignorant about what declawing meant (my vet gave me a pamphlet for new cat owners which educated me). One of the better vets! The reason I found this new vet (not sure now how lucky that was), I got a pamphlet from the (then new after my move) vet that said declawing a cat was no big deal and the cat didn't even know it had been done because they continue to "scratch" on things (no mention that they do this for stretching purposes, not claw sharpening purposes). They clearly were trying to get cash for this barbaric procedure!! That's what got me searching for a *new* new vet. [At this point I'm considering just driving the extra miles and going back to the vet before last, before last - whom I loved and was *COMPETENT*! Hugs.
