Cat damaged speaker, Help

Declawing cats is a cruel practice, and an amputation, as is debarking dogs. If one is too lazy to enforce some positive training, they should not have a pet. Cropping ears and docking tails (cosmetic surgery) is for the narcissistic owner. Animals should be left as intended ........ Au naturel

Rodman:... it was declawed (front paws) immediately.... and it was, for the next 14yrs( the perfect pet-literally). The cat was afraid to do anything wrong......... "what will they cut off me next time"?!!

Iso- I'm not into animal cruelty in the least(OR Anthropomorphism). Angel was as much a compleat, frisky feline after, as it was before the procedure, minus it's capacity for shredding things. It was an indoor pet, and needed not to defend itself. Outside of feeding the neighborhood strays; I have had no pets, since Angel died(14 cat years=80 human years). To me; the issue is as dead as the cat. Perhaps you(or anyone else with something to say) would care to address the thousands of Vets, NATIONWIDE, that perform the operation daily: (http://www.localvets.com/services/declawing/) Happy crusading.

Many vets are against the practice. Tho, they realize the owner will simply go to the next vet. So, by refusing, the first vet only talked himself out of a gig, and did not save the cat. My vet does refuse to perform that procedure.

Informationally, it is like cutting your fingers back below your nails, to the first joint. Many simply do not understand the severity of the process.
