1 24 Jun 2005 - 7:15    styx : i agree with you its like humans getting their finger nails ripped off.ouch!
2 2 Jul 2005 - 10:05    person : How could anyone even think of taking out something that is so extremely supposed to be there? Anyone who does is just sick
3 18 Jul 2005 - 20:24    Yep : My cat was declawed and nuetered by it's previous owners, now it's turn gay. I'm against declawing, it's a cruel practice that could turn your cat into a sissy little ******. Imagine how painful that would be, and all of this for keeping your funiture in good shape. Declawing should be banned because it's too cruel to let your cat go through life without claws or turn gay. Besides, they have teeth too, and when they're declawed and pissed they go after your legs, they definitely know how to use them.

5 23 Jul 2005 - 11:11    Stacey Brauer : LEAVE THE CATS ALONE! BARBARIANS!
6 27 Jan 2006 - 2:42    Chelsea Florio : I support this petition 100%. It is a very inhumane thing do declaw your cat! imagine the first digit of each of your fingers to be pulled off!
7 9 Feb 2006 - 9:17    CATS RULE : Another reason to like the Italians! Put this as a law in America, George. I say punishment for declawing is having your Fingernails and Toenails RIPPED OFF PERMANNENTLEY. **** declawers
8 16 Feb 2006 - 7:37    lisa : I support this petition. A friend of my daughters just found her cat mauled by 'the family dog'. The cat was declawed and accidently got outside. The dog killed it. If it had claws it could have defended itself or climbed a tree or fence to get away. I don't understand why it is legal to declaw a cat. Or even to doc a dobermans ears or tail for aesthetic purpouses. They should all be illegal because they are cruel, painful and sadistic. Animals have feelings and intelligence. And they should also have choices and rights just as we do.
9 16 Feb 2006 - 9:46    Simone : I support this petition. Declawing is cruel. Why anyone would want to do this to a cat is beyond me.
10 16 Feb 2006 - 10:26    Sarah : I support this petition. Declawing is most unnecessary in almost all cases - I'd consider an only exception for a person to have developed a problem that would cause scratching to have the most negative effect possible.
11 16 Feb 2006 - 17:26    Amanda : I support this petition. Declawing is downright animal abuse. I am glad I live in the UK where it is illegal!
12 16 Feb 2006 - 23:15    Barbarella : Declawing is NOT like cutting fingernails. It´s an AMPUTATION of the last digit of each finger. Try to imagine YOU having that operation/mutilation done to your own hands and then having to walk on tip toes. Get it? There are REASONS why it´s illegal in most countries in the world. I wholeheartedly support this petition. Regards, Barbarella Buchner www.catnipcamera.co.uk www.starcats.co.uk
13 16 Feb 2006 - 23:39    Heidi Taylor : I support this petition.
14 16 Feb 2006 - 23:49    Anna Linnaeus : I support this petition.
15 17 Feb 2006 - 0:13    Rune : I support this petition 100%. Declawing is a sadistic and barbaric practice carried out on animals who have no choice in being multilated and denied the tools to defend itself. For those who support it? Let's have another petition calling for them to have their fingers and toes amputated, see how THEY like it .
16 17 Feb 2006 - 0:20    christhegoth : It's fecking disgusting.
17 17 Feb 2006 - 0:46    Sharon McLeish : I support this petition and have signed many like it. Declawing is animal abuse. Anyone having their pet declawed is an animal abuser and should not be allowed to own animals. Vets who declaw animals should not be allowed to practice. How would you like having your toes or fingers shopped off half way down? Huh?
18 17 Feb 2006 - 1:08    victoria7 : I support this petition, wholeheartedly. Never should any cat be mutilated!
19 17 Feb 2006 - 1:36    Thomas A Hodges : I support this petition.
20 17 Feb 2006 - 3:07    Kimlan Lou-Hing : I support this petition.
21 17 Feb 2006 - 3:29    Kristen Jones : I support this petition.Declawing is not only a vanity purely for humans, but it is the cruelest form of torture for the cat and im glad i live in a decent country where it is illegal. If the USA wishes to be seen as a decent country it should make it illegal across the country!
22 17 Feb 2006 - 3:32    Brian Healy : I support this petition. I am not a cat-lover but the declawing of cats is barbaric, inhumane and downright cruel! Such a practice should be outlawed WORLDWIDE! If cats weren't meant to have claws, then they would have been created that way!
23 17 Feb 2006 - 5:01    jackie phillips : I support this petition because the act of de-clawing is butchery and disfiguring cats, if you don't want it to claw the furnature or scratch you either get the claws proffesionally clipped, get a scratching post or DONT GET A CAT
24 17 Feb 2006 - 5:21    Penny Broderick : I support this petition. Declawing is wrong unless for medical reasons.
25 17 Feb 2006 - 6:05    Leslie : I support this petition. Declawing cats is almost always unecessary as well as being cruel.
26 17 Feb 2006 - 6:19    Kelly Dabney : I completely support this petition. Declawing is mutilation and should be illegal.
27 17 Feb 2006 - 6:23    Kaia Vaught : I support this petition. Declawing is utterly inhumane and unnecessary 99% of the time. It's a very painful procedure, and pain and soreness lasts for weeks after. It leads to TONS of behavioral and medical problems. Would you like your fingertips amputated for "convenience"?
28 17 Feb 2006 - 6:36    Lindsay Poveromo : I support this petition. No cat should have to undergo such a terrible procedure for the selfishness of human beings.
29 17 Feb 2006 - 6:37    Christine Archer : I support this petition. Declawing is cruel and totally unnecessary in almost all cases. It should be banned for anything but the most serious medical reasons.
30 17 Feb 2006 - 6:38    Lauren Whitehead : Declawing is inhumane.
31 17 Feb 2006 - 6:46    Christianna : Declawing is only for the laziest of people who can't be bothered to take proper care of their animals. Albeit, cats are not like humans in the area of rationale, but I would still go so far as to call it cruel and torturous.
32 17 Feb 2006 - 6:51    Jessica Helmer : I support this petition.
33 17 Feb 2006 - 6:53    Danielle : I support this petition.
34 17 Feb 2006 - 7:10    sarah : I support this petition!
35 17 Feb 2006 - 7:11    Dawnielle Voegele : I support this petition. If I had known how evil declawing really was, at the time, I would have sued my Mom over it. My Mom declawed my cat Matilda, for her convenience. Matilda happened to be living at her house, because I was living at a place that wouldn't let me have a cat. Matilda happened to like a particular windowsill downstairs and used it for her scratching pleasure. She didn't tare up anything else in the house but that sill. My parents had remodeled the house a few years earlier and my Mom complained that Matilda was just getting paint and wood chips everywhere! She finally got her a Scratching Post, but it didn't do any good, because I was not living at home at the time and no one taught Matilda how to use the post. I would have worked with her on it, if my mom had given me a chance, but she called me up one day, told me that Matilda was going in to get declawed and even though Matilda was mine, she was living in her house, so my mom had a right to do whatever she liked with her. I was furious and felt that it was extremely wrong, even before Matilda went to the Vet. When I saw her afterwards on the drive home, my heart wept for her. She had been so traumatized by the experience, that she went to the bathroom all over herself in the carrier on the way home. She's never done that before, or since. Mom and I had to clean her off and when I saw those poor little paws with no claws on the front ones, I felt like my heart would break! If she were attacked by something now, she would have no way to fight back! She still goes outside, but she's defenseless and she knows it. She's never climbed a tree since and she used to love them!! She still kills animals, but she can't get away, or scratch if she needs too and that kills me! Fortunately for me, Matilda still has her old personality, but I've heard stories where the cat's personality changes after that horrible experience and why should

45 17 Feb 2006 - 9:28    Marisol : I support this petition. I do. But honey, please get your facts straight. The majority of the countries you have listed have no laws, or limited declawing (medically or no alternative than to be put down).

50 17 Feb 2006 - 11:25    Michelle B. : I support this petition. declawing is a cruel things to put a cat thru. they can easily become crippled and worse. i adopted my Luci from my local Humane Society and was shocked to find that she was declawed...not just her front paws, but her hind paws as well! :( poor baby cant even scritch herself properly. :( her previous owners should never own another cat. mutilating an animal for human convenience or simply because youre too lazy to train it not to claw your stuff, is ridiculous and needs to be banned. HOW MANY MORE LOVING PETS MUST SUFFER!?
