A bill to make declawing illegal in New York has passed the state legislature. If the governor signs off on it, New York will become the first state to outlaw the practice.
Declawing is the practice of removing a cat's claws to prevent scratching. According to the Humane Society, the process usually involves removing the last bone of each toe on the cat's paw. Animal activists claim declawing is a needlessly painful process, and the Humane Society recommends it only in the most dire circumstances, when the health of the cat is affected. New York State Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal is the main sponsor of bill A01303.
"Now that New York is poised to become the first state in the nation to ban cat declawing, the days when this procedure is cavalierly offered for the convenience of the owners to protect couches and curtain are numbered."Rosenthal has a history of sponsoring animal rights-related legislation, including bills to curtail the sale of cats, dogs and other pets in pet stores, and the creation of an animal abuse registry.
