It seems like the US is always behind Europe in the area of animal cruelty. Europe no longer allows cats to be declawed either. But vets here encourage it! They see dollar signs. It is too bad they doc their tails, as tails of any creature are SO expressive. When my cats walk toward me in anticipation, their tails always curl forward at the top. It's so cute. The first place any changes would have to take place would be with the AKC. |
