I'm sorry for your friend's loss. personally I think declawing is wrong. I guess it must be done under general.

I bet you are right Loosi - I hadn't thought of the anesthesia thing because she told me they do it now with Laser. I just have never been able to do - JenBro Jan 6, 09:45 5
- It's the same as amputating from the last knuckle to the tip of a human finger. Barbaric. I don't think most of the people who have it done realize - jnine Jan 6, 09:53
- The City of West Hollywood has banned the practice, but I think that was for "pain and suffering" reasons, rather than any graver outcomes. -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 09:49 2
  - It's outlawed in some countries for the same reason. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:50 1
    - Declawing a cat is just terrible. They make something you can put over the nails so can't destory furniture. - Krusty Jan 6, 10:06
- if it's no big deal they wouldn't need general. It's still an amputation. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:45
