... The point was that most other *industrialized* nations with *similar* norms and values as our own have seen fit to ban the procedure. Saying that other nations where it is legal to cut off human body parts (human clitorectomy) against their wishes allow declawing and having that be one's argument isn't exactly convincing. Point well made, Kaeli, dear. Hugs, Ann -- http://www.angelfire.com/ca/bewtifulfreak |

"Brandy Alexandre" wrote in message ... bewtifulfreak wrote in rec.pets.cats.health+behav: Twenty different nations agreeing on the same thing seems like far more than "opinion" to me, and certainly argues against it being a matter of regional and cultural preference, unless we are to believe all twenty of those nations have the same regional and cultural bias, which seems highly unlikely. The only two countries that haven't banned it are much more likely to share a cultural and regional bias, that most likely being the bias of putting the love of money above all else. Only two? Which two are you talking about and which hundreds are you not? Countries where declawing is banned/illegal: (as per veterinarian Dr. Christianne Schelling's site, http://www.declawing.com/ , as accessed through http://stopdeclaw.com ) England Scotland Wales Italy France Germany Austria Switzerland Norway Sweden Netherlands Northern Ireland Ireland Denmark Finland Slovenia Portugal Belgium Spain Brazil Australia New Zealand Countries where it is not: U.S. Canada Countries not listed most likely do not engage in the practice of declawing, because those that are listed have public, published policies, whether or not it is umbrellaed under the guise of animal ownership. You cannot ban something or make a legal policy about it, if it does not exist. Furthermore, most localities in West Africa do not have laws pertaining to animals. For those working against the primate trade industry, it is very difficult to get African countries to abide by international treaties against the trade in exotic species because local laws do not exist, and many of the locals do not see the international treaties as enforcable, especially when the exchange of money is involved. If they do not have local laws regarding exotic species, which are worth tens of thousands of dollars a piece, they are unlikely to have laws governing common household pets. -L. |
