Please sign this online petition to ban declawing in the US. I was asked to post it to as many cat lover websites as possible.

True, but at least you can say that you've spoke on behalf of all the cats in the USA by signing, and who knows what may happen?.Originally Posted by mschauer
Doesn't hurt to try but I wonder how much weight a petition organized by a group in the UK is going to have with the The American Veterinary Medical Association?? I'm sure they are already aware that the practice in banned in the UK and that hasn't influenced them.
I think the notion is to petition the AVMA to get them to come out against declawing first and that legislation would follow. That's how it happened in the UK. Their veterinary association (forget what it is called) came out against the practice very early on. The legislation came much later.Originally Posted by rahma
A petition on the internet isn't going to do anything if the lawmakers don't see it.
