California's lawmakers could soon ban the declawing of cats solely for the convenience of humans, advancing a bill on Thursday to halt what animal rights activists say is a painful procedure used primarily to prevent torn furniture and scratched skin.

Claws on cats grow from the bone, not skin. Removing them sometimes requires amputating bones, while other procedures sever tendons to prevent a cat from extending its claws.

The American Veterinary Medical Association "discourages declawing as an elective procedure," saying it is not medically necessary in most cases. But the association says it is sometimes necessary "when a cat’s excessive or inappropriate scratching behavior causes an unacceptable risk of injury or remains destructive.

Finally. What took so long to stop this cruelty?

YES

How would ppl like their nails removed. Its to help the cats defend themselves. Especially if they get out even if by accident. It's cruel

People suck. Poor kitties. Get a goldfish jerks!!!

Next can we ban dog owners that keep there dogs in kennels for 12 hours a day in there apartment while there at work. Just so they can play with them after work for 3 hours then put them in the kennel so they can go to sleep for work.

It's about time! Such a barbaric thing to do to a cat

You can kill a baby but can’t declaw a cat?!? What a weird backwards world we live in. 😔

Well it's a start anyway, maybe soon we can cut the balls of the rapist and resell them to the transgender, that's a win win right. Money for nothing and your dicks for free people.

They sell these on Chewy.
