| 2,082 | 12:06 pm PDT, Oct 26 | Melanie Mercado | YES...those poor animals...their whole life and personailty changes and then they end up getting thrown in the pound all because of their stupid selfish owners. | I didn't know that they chopped off part of their finger as well as their claws to keep it from regrowing. That is way too much to put animals through! | YES | |

| 2,079 | 5:40 pm PDT, Sep 21 | Mrs. | Laurie Hein | This cruelty must stop. Declawing leaves cats very vulnerable and is a very painful procedure and has many side effects on the animals. | No | Yes! |
| 2,078 | 3:41 pm PDT, Sep 20 | Mrs. | Susan Dumas | no | no | yes |
| 2,077 | 5:24 pm PDT, Sep 19 | Lisa Lopez | Yes | I was not aware of the fact that they took more then just the nail. | As many as I can, yes. | |
| 2,076 | 11:40 pm PDT, Sep 18 | Bonnie Kirkwood | I knew that some do | Just a few things; I already knew that it was amputation. That should be enough for anyone to grasp the implications. | Yes | |
| 2,075 | 6:28 pm PDT, Sep 18 | Mr. | colin felton | y | n | I tried to ban it in Bradenton but America is too backward at the moment to be able to comprehend the suffering (see Gitmo/Abu Graib etc.) |
| 2,074 | 6:02 pm PDT, Sep 18 | Anne Kirkwood | I have worked at cat shelters for over 13 years, so I am well aware of the number of declawed cats that end up in the shelter and often die there. | I know what declawing entails and the its debilitating effect on cats, as well as the pain it causes and the behavioral side effects that often lead to euthanasia or death due to the cat's refusal to eat and carry on with life after the "procedure". | Of course! | |
| 2,073 | 1:40 pm PDT, Sep 18 | Ms. | Daniela Franco | no | everything | maybe |
| 2,072 | 12:23 pm PDT, Sep 13 | Mrs. | Hazel Neely | This is a crule and PAINFUL thing to do. It is defined as mutilation. The entire first joint of each toe is removed. The pain is excruciating. This IS abuse. No one who lives a cat could possibly do this to them. No piece of furniture is worth this painj and suffering. Hazel & Taboo | /////// | YES |
| 2,071 | 1:58 pm PDT, Sep 5 | Ms. | Elizabeth Ardis | Actually, I have been working for shelters and clinics for about 7 years, and see this personally every day. | Not really. I've researched this for years. | Yes! |

| 2,066 | 9:34 pm PDT, Aug 7 | Ms. | Melody Cary | Yes, mostly because of improper urination or aggression that is caused by the declawing. | Nope. | Probably not. |

| 2,053 | 10:40 pm PDT, May 4 | Anonymous | I work at a shelter and see more cats with their claws. Declawed cats are easy to rehome because of the fact that they are declawed. | No. | Yes. | |
| 2,052 | 7:07 am PDT, May 1 | Ms. | Amanda Marino | No, but it seems logical. Declawed cats have NO DEFENSE MECHANISMS when lost outside. | No. | Yes. |

JoinThe World and Outlaw Declawing of Animals
The paws bear the full weight of the cat. Cats stand and walk on the entire paw. When the end of the paw is amputated, as it is during a declawing operation, the cat has to modify her stance accordingly. Being forced to walk unnaturally can put a strain on the paws and cause long-term pain. The pain may build up gradually, and may be aggravated if the cat is overweight. A cat can't tell you directly that her paws ache. You'll find that out when she starts avoiding the litter box.
