The Wall Street Journal published (6/13/24) a biased article explaining the billion dollar profit that declawing cats brings in. The article is biased toward declawing with incomplete data, missing is the CDC statement on declawing cats. The CDC does not recommend declawing cats because a bite is far worse than the claws for immuno-compromised people. Reporter Peter Funt is prodeclaw.

We have gone through the 2024 MN legislative session. The declaw ban bill was not brought up for a hearing in the House Ag committee. They had many weeks were a committee hearing was not held. We will be back again next session.

To any and all cat lovers:
The Minnesota House has a declawing ban bill set for a hearing in the Ag committee. Please call your MN legislator and ask them to support this important bill that will end a cruel and abusive procedure that has caused millions of cats to lose their homes, and often their lives.

This bill is straight and to the point, and it is vital for the health and welfare of cats that this becomes law.
Thank you to all of our cat lovers.
