I let my cats outside when they want to go out, and am often judged for that. They're happy as hell, too.
That being said, I will continue to put considerable effort into anti-declawing legislation and measures. I am in the veterinary medicine field and it's a growing sentiment among my peers.
My dad was a veterinarian. He simply did not like cats at all. But he was also against declawing them, way before being against it was the norm.
Our vets don't do it. Period, end of discussion. It's considered a breach of medical ethics, some vets will still do it, but their numbers are dwindling. Veterinary schools are not all teaching declawing surgeries anymore. The AAHA (a national veterinary org) strongly opposes it.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.

It’s not loaded because it’s intended to be correctly descriptive, not emotive. So you don’t ‘got it’.

How do you feel about "docking" dogs tails?

Me? I think it’s mutilation, same with ear cropping.

Not really. Just something I feel strongly about (if I were doing Brian, I’d come out in favour of recreational body modification on pets).

Again, if anyone reading this eats any sort of meat, not buying it.

Again, it’s got nothing to do with eating meat. I’m not against killing animals for food.
Please explain the connection between me eating pork chops and you having the bones in your cat’s feet chopped off.
