YAY!

It's Caturday!

First off, let's give a WOO WOO to the State of California, and I'm paraphrasing here:

"...tendonectomy, onychectomy, or any type of claw removal on a feline within the practice of veterinary medicine...is ILLEGAL..."

Here's the bill: Bill AB-867

US States

New York

Maryland

Virginia

Massachusetts

Rhode Island

California

Washington D.C.

US Cities

Colorado: Denver

Missouri: St. Louis

Pennsylvania: Pittsburgh and Allentown

Texas: Austin

Wisconsin: Madison

Countries with Declawing Bans 

United Kingdom: Declawing is illegal in the UK

France: The practice is prohibited

Germany: Declawing is illegal

Switzerland: The procedure is banned

Australia: Declawing is banned in Australia

New Zealand: Declawing is prohibited

Japan: Declawing is banned

Israel: The procedure is illegal

Brazil: Declawing is banned

Canada: Declawing is outlawed in nearly all of its provinces

C'mon people; this should be illegal EVERYWHERE, so don't let up on your politicians to get them to step up, since the veterinary profession cannot.
