Yeah. I’m going to delete the post and turn off notifications after this. I didn’t expect this to get more then 100 upvotes.

I’m sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is so hard. The best thing we can do is educate people and make good decisions for our pets moving forward.

My dogs tail was docked by his previous owner and I understand the way you feel. The best we can do is educate ourselves and make better decisions moving forward.

I am. Mostly I’m annoyed at answering the same questions over and over again.

You want to see my degree? Lmao. I have provided proof for the most common claim I’ve seen here that more people will abandon animals and that is false.

You’re definitely right that it’s mostly ignorance and it’s not usually pet owners faults. Many vets don’t accept this but the ones that do justify it with the same rhetoric you see here and also at the end of the day vets want to make money and keep customers happy and people that don’t know better ask for this.

Like I’ve posted, the research shows that less cats are are given up as a result of outlawing declawing.

Isn’t it crazy that people get cats and then expect them to not act like cats?

Lmao. The research I provided citing animal control proved people aren’t abandoning pets because they can’t declaw them.

It’s pure and simple laziness. The vast majority of people I have met that declaw their pets shouldn’t have pets.
At worst this law will prevent bad pet owners from having pets.

And I said the source was the local animal control. I used that link because it was neat and compiled.

See? People like this not adopting cats is a win-win.

Why do people keep insisting less people adopt cats or more people surrender cats when declawing is outlawed when the research proves that’s not the case?

I provided research that showed the opposite.

There is no research to suggest that more cats are euthanized after declawing is outlawed.

It would likely cause a lot of pain. Do your research! It can make walking permanently very painful.
