What the fuck is declawing a cat?

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 16 points 2 days ago

Animal abuse. That's what.

It is a surgical procedure equivalent to chopping off the first knuckle of their toes.

Ever have someone rip your finger nails off while you’re as sleep?

[–] ACindyDerg@piefed.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh it's much worse than that: it's cutting their fingers and toes off at the first joint and then making them walk on it for life

What the fuck no wonder ive never heard about it before. Its probably illegal in the eu.

[–] IdleSheep@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It is, and thank God for that.

Animal declawing, ear cropping, and tail docking are illegal in every EU member state.

Does the tail docking law have any exceptions? Doing it for aesthetics is fucked up, but some dogs have a problem with wagging their tail into objects which can fuck it up and necessitate amputation. Happy Tail Syndrome.

yes, there are exceptions for medical reasons and they are unfortunately abused by assholes and unethical veterinarians.

No thanks to any god, but reasonable people.
