NY lawmakers want cat declawing outlawed

Lawmakers and advocates gathered Tuesday to push for a bill that would make it illegal to declaw cats in New York, but a group representing the state's veterinarians says the procedure should remain legal.

Advocates ranging from state Humane Society members to individual veterinarians met in the state Capitol to push for a bill sponsored by Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal, D-Manhattan, which would ban the practice of declawing cats except when medically necessary.

So would you basically cut off the equivalent of 2 knuckles from your hands or keep them? Would you cut your toes off?

I wouldn't.

dont declaw cats but don't issue a ban because it'll lead to back-alley declawing or owners performing D.I.Y. declawing or something like that

Cats are an invasive species and should be eliminated from North America, nay, the earth!
Removing their claws might stop them from killing so many birds, not that birds are much better.

Cats owners are often more passionate about their disease carrying friends than they are about their personal hygiene. Not to mention the strong correlation between cat ownership and mental illness.

You shouldn't declaw your cat and if you have a living situation where it's simply not feasible to have a cat with claws you shouldn't have a cat but that said they shouldn't make the practice illegal either as it's still better to have a declawed cat than it is to have more strays running around and that's why the veterinarians are against the bill as declawing represents a lesser of two evils options over a family just dumping their kitten once it grows up a bit and starts damaging their furniture.

There are some decent alternatives like softpaws and such but at the end of the day a lot of people are lazy lovely pet owners and if push comes to shove a vet would rather just declaw the cat than risk it ending up on the streets or a shelter.

Think they can just take it to the logical next step and just ban all cats. No cat declawing when cats are declared illegal.

Cutting a cat's balls off is like getting your balls cut off for a human. Clearly we should not spay or neuter cats. If you cant handle your cat fuxking and having babies all the time maybe dont buy a cat

Just cut em with a $6 pet nail trimmer and bribe the poo poo out of that li'l bitch with treats afterward. After a time or two they'll know what's up and you can trim away because they know they get to stuff their fat little faces when it's over.

Literally all of the people "Defending" declawing cats agree with that sentiment you retard. The reality is that plenty of irresponsible people let their cats breed and plenty of other irresponsible people adopt those kittens from their friends and friends of friends and by the time the cat has grown up and started messing with their furniture the prospects of future adoptions are incredibly bad so these people who shouldn't have cats in the first place but would be willing to keep taking care of them if they were declawed create a situation where the options are a: declaw the cat, b: shelter the cat until it gets euthanized, c: dump the cat in a box on the street. if you outlaw declawing you're just gonna get more b, and c, there are simply no good answers when it hits that point.

No vets want to declaw cats they just understand that when push comes to shove it's better to have a declawed cat with a home than the alternative.
