Well, I look out the second floor window and the guy was cutting the ears of his pit bull with a pair of scissors. I called the police and the dog was removed from the house...thankfully. Poor thing...just another way that some people think they "own" an animal to the point they can cause it great pain.

When I had cats I put those soft claws on them and that was so simple, painless and humane.

I couldn't imagine the pain a dog would have with it's nails removed, they need them for so many reasons. I would actually cry if I saw a dog that had that done to it. I can't even see how they would walk correctly either....

Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
Now Im not trying to be rude just debating the subject. I can understand you having your views but it didnt stop you from buying from a breeder that docks tails either. I dont see any difference in pain level from declawing a cat to docking a pups tail just saying....
