declawing

Â* enlightened us with...

You ignorant louts are disgusting. I was researching pet importation,
available of veterinary services in several countries for a web site I
put together, along with average living standards, not the 1950s
National Geographic you apparently read. When places like England and
Canada say Americans are poorly educated and nearly ignorant of the
world around them, I have to agree.

No, they do not eat cats in Nigeria, as you imply, just in case you
wanted to know. But some how I doubt you wanted to know because you're
too self-involved in your little obsessions.



Responding with insults is just ever so convincing.
How would you know they don't eat cats in Nigeria? Do you know whether
they eat cats in any of the other multitudes of countries you listed? Of
course you don't, and neither do I.

Trying to make a point with you is like trying to tell something to a
wall.

Never mind. YOU are the one who has no understanding at all of culture
and its impact. Trying to explain that was a waste of my time. I'm done.

I've been very level-handed about presenting facts to support my
beliefs, and not stooping to the nastiness you have. And you are
the one who is always on about getting points across, not
me....obviously, you think mutilating a cat is fine, and I don't
expect to convince you otherwise. But when you make stupid claims
or insults trying to divert from the subject, I'm going to mention
it. This is a discussion group, and we were having a discussion
on the subject of declawing, at least until you changed the
subject because you realized you had no basis to support your
point of view. If we are trumpeting, it is because we care about
animals, and hate to see ignorant people harming them for their
own convenience. But I've wasted enough of my time interacting
with the likes of you already. Clearly, you have nothing more to
say to defend your weak point of view, and I've said my piece, so
really there is nothing more to be said.

Obviously your didn't like being confronting with your racism and
nationalistic biases. I learned all I needed to about you and your
beliefs from your attack on the list of countries I posted. It's
disgusting. You're a bigot. That's not name-calling; that's a fact.
It's ugly and I'm ashamed to be American if you represent us.

You were done back when you tried to put words in my mouth and then
attack me with them to sell an idea. That's stupid, you were called on
it, you can keep trying if you like, but I agree it's best that you sit
down now.



If it makes you feel better to think it, dear, by all means.

Personally, I hate declawing and don't think it should be done for no
valid reason, but I agree with the above. Sometimes it's necessary. See
here for a valid reason to declaw. With this cat, it was a choice
between declawing him or getting rid of him:

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bleys/Dyson1yScrtch.jpg

It was not his first offense, but it was the one that nearly did some
serious damage.

What would *you* do????


Well, if my dog nipped my kid, I wouldn't remove her teeth, I can tell
you that. I would wonder what piece of anatomy my child grabbed to
deserve it. And I wouldn't remove my dog's nails if she accidentally
scratched my kid while playing.

Cats don't scratch for no reason at all. They are even less likely to
harm your child than your dog. But we don't remove a dog's nails and
teeth to protect our kids.

Supervise kids and pets ALWAYS.
Trim kitty's nails for less damage.
SoftPaws if necessary.

Very last resort: rehome to a home with no children.

Declawing is not a viable solution. Whole countries do just fine with
cats and kids without the need for it. Why would we need to?

I don't know about anyone else, but that looks awfully wide and blunt to be
cat claws. I get scratches like those at work all the time, and the ones
that look like those in the picture are from dogs, not cats. *shrugs* Just
doesn't look cat-like, to me. It's always possible that I'm wrong.

it?
