User ID: 1355544 United States 12/08/2011 09:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So It Begins! Israel Bans Cat Declawing. Punishment: One Year In Prison, $20K On November 28th Israel’s legislature unanimously passed a bill that outlaws the declawing of cats, except for certain medical reasons, making it a crime punishable by up to one year in prison and a fine of about $20,000 (or 75,000 shekels). Declawing is a somewhat misleading term; in the procedure, called an onychectomy, the veterinarian typically removes all or most of the cat’s outer toe joint, bone and all. As declawing opponents have often pointed out, the human equivalent would be the amputation of your fingertips at or just above your third knuckle. Cats also use their toes/nails to walk upon; the Israel bill says the ban will help cats move around more normally, avoid certain medical complications, and defend themselves.

Kids need to be assigned "Black Beauty" and "Beautiful Joe" to read, and grow up into adults who look at things from more points of view than just their own, and are able to imagine other possibilities than just the most obvious one in front of them. |
