The Issue

Cats are suffering tragically here in the United States of America because of Declawing. Once a cat is declawed it can become crippled, limp, lame, and so much more evils done to it. It's like taking a cigar cutter to the tip of your finger. The tools the vets use to declaw these cats actaully cut part of the bone and bone fragments of the paw. The cat is in so much pain they walk on their heels. A cat is not made to walk on the heel. They use the front of the paw to walk. But how can you walk without toes? You can't! You just simply can't. They are putting their body weight on the heels of their feet. So that's going to cause a shot of pain coming up the leg of the cat, which causes artheritis. Imagine yourself walking without toes. That's not happening. After I watched, " The Paw Project", I got inspired to make this petiton. I want cats to be free of pain. This petition will be sent to state legislators in Ohio to hopefully outlaw declawing. Please help our feline friends to be free of this excruciating pain. Thank you and God bless. And thank you Jennifer Conrad for inspiring me.
