Interesting to note that the American Veterinary Medical Association put out a policy statement in 2004 stating that the declawing of Exotic and Captive Wild Indigenous Cats was not longer considered proper veterinary practice. They cited size, weight and the environments these animals were being kept in and also that it commonly caused detrimental effects on the animals subjected to such procedures.<br /><br />Declawing is wrong and inhumane.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100812038496671783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-18947196690450590782009-12-31T09:17:14.692+13:002009-12-31T09:17:14.692+13:00Craig Busch is believed to be currently hiding out...Craig Busch is believed to be currently hiding out at Paradise Wildlife Park in England where he is explaining why it is good to amputate big cats claws.<br />I hope a big cat eats his testes while he watches.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11007956115827878540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-78649293577819357492009-04-29T05:33:00.000+12:002009-04-29T05:33:00.000+12:00Hi Barbara - Well said!

I think this declawing issue has become a major sore point with me since I read about Craig Busch aka the Lion Man having over 30 of his Lions and tigers declawed. MAF are investigating him and the vet that did it. Not necessary and I signed the petition Katt mentioned. I hope it is stopped completely. Cruel, brutal and inhumane.<br /><br />Take care<br />LizLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100812038496671783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-37927545479728065192009-04-29T04:56:00.000+12:002009-04-29T04:56:00.000+12:00What gets me is that it isn't a secret that cats c...What gets me is that it isn't a secret that cats come with claws so why get a cat and then alter it!

I agree it should be made illegal completely unless it's a drastic life threatening health issue and even then the vet doing it should think very very hard. MAF here are currently investigating the vet that did the procedures on the Zion lions and tigers. And yes the effects on the animals that are declawed are devastating. Terrible and totally inhumane.<br /><br />All the best<br />LizLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100812038496671783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-88519350316554336212009-04-28T04:52:00.000+12:002009-04-28T04:52:00.000+12:00Yes declawing certainly sucks !
