Anyone that would declaw a cat should be required burlap underwear... for life!

Good for New York. I got the shivers just reading that link. My own veterinarians have stopped declawing on their own, and I hope more do.

That's great! I hope more veterinarians continue to make their own policies like this!

Hope NJ follows. Saw a declawed cat for adoption at the pet store two weeks ago, and the poor thing was constantly licking her paws

I really can't believe that in the 21st century this practice is still around, especially in the most developed country in the world!
In my opinion, when all states ban it, it will be always too late.
