Dear Friends, There are times in life that we must lose some battles on the way to winning the war. Today we lost a big one.??? As you know, there is the bill in NY that would ban declawing in that state, if passed. The NYSVMS, Long Island Veterinary Medical Association, and other NY vet associations successfully stopped our bill. Some of the Senators had some "concerns" about our cat protection bill and obviously believed the NYSVMS's disgusting propaganda about declawing. We all worked so hard on trying to get this bill passed so that it would protect all kitties in NY from this inhumane and unnecessary procedure. My mom and I worked every waking hour on this bill and we are devastated that some of the NY Senators listened to the ones who make up evil excuses as to why they should be able to keep mutilating cats and making money from it. We are also very angry that these "doctors" who took an oath to help and heal animals, would fight so hard to be able to keep declawing, and yet not work really hard to help spread awareness about declawing, help repair the paws of declawed cats that they destroyed, and help to find homes for all the declawed cats that are in shelters and rescues because of the harm they caused to these cats paws and lives. If these vet associations and "doctors" had put all their time and money into campaigns that would go out to NY cat owners about the humane alternatives and how declawing always harms a cat and is inhumane, mutilating, painful, and very unnecessary, then so many cats would be saved. But the bottom line is that we know what is important to them. We aren’t $tupid. None of those "doctors" should be using their skilled hands and their lasers, guillotine choppers, or scalpels to mutilate cat paws. Period. They know that there are always humane alternative$. We someday will win this fight but we must get more help. So please ask your friends, family, and co-workers to join us and be on the right side of cat history and end this dark and very evil chapter in the American veterinary profession.
