I just had to throw that out there... I'm not condemning nor condoning it (though all my cats were/are/will be declawed).
It's all altering our pet in an unnatural way. For whatever reason, some practices are just more accepted than others.
I think docking tails and cropping ears are worse. It's usually done without anesthesia and without any pain management. At least with declawing the cat is under and can be given some sort of pain medication afterwards.
