Denver council unanimously votes to ban cat declawing

The Denver City Council on Monday night moved to make Denver the first U.S. city outside of California to ban the practice of removing cats’ claws.

The ban would make it illegal to declaw cats if there isn’t a specific medical reason, such as a tumor or a malformed paw.

I didn’t fully appreciate the proceeding or understand that declawing was an amputation,” she said.

Declawing involves the removal not just of the claw but of the outermost phalanx of the paw from which it grows.

She said that modern technology could minimize pain and that the operation could keep cats in homes.

Association President Will French said that some owners may euthanize a cat if declawing is not an option.

Critics of the ban have asked whether people will give up their cats instead. »
