A Pretty Pickle
Ms Grant you have a heart of gold to give Pickle a home.You and your husband are obviously Earth Angels. As you so rightly say, declawing is a very cruel and uneccesary operation and we in England couldn't believe it when we found out just over a year ago that it still happens routinely in the USA.It is banned here but even before it was,our vets would never do it, it is classed as animal abuse. We have joined with the people in the USA who know how cruel it is and we are educating as many people to the truth as we can,because vets don't tell them that it is actually amputation of the cats last toe joints and that it causes many cats physical and mental problems.Even little kittens are being declawed routinely along with neutering,some vets are offering discount packages for what is supposed to be a last resort operation for serious scratching behaviour.We have saved 89 cats this way but because we can't reach every cat owner, declawing MUST be banned. PLEASE help us by signing and passing on our petition: http://www.petitionthem.com/default.asp?sect=deta… Too many cats are suffering ! THANK YOU so much, best wishes to you and your husband. xx Tiger and Pickle Ruth(retired vet nurse)— December 29, 2009 11:18 p.m.
