It's a truly disgusting practice. Many pet owners agree to have it done at the same time as neutering because US vets recommend it and the owners know no different. For anyone who doesn't know - it's the equivalent of amputating each of your fingers down to the first knuckle - barbaric!

It is a common practise in the USA (saves the furniture) it isn't just the claws it is the whole of the paw up too the first joint. I wonder how the vet would survive in the same situation. Penny

same here, I really think that if anyone commits a awful crime to animals & people the same should be done back, see how they like it :evil:

In all fairness, I don't think all Americans are made aware from their vets about just how awful the procedure is. :cry:

It's a shame, because I'm sure if they knew more about declawing, they wouldn't do it nearly as often.

Whatever vets tell people , i think common sense should tell people how painful it could be, how would they like their nails pulling out
