If you have to lie about something, why are you doing it? ?INVESTIGATIVE STUDY WITH 110 VET PRACTICES IN NEW JERSEY My team & I worked on this detailed investigation for over a month, to bring you the truth about how declawing is addressed in vet practices in New Jersey. We had been informed of numerous vets perpetuating & spreading false information to their patients and to the public about declawing, while concealing the truth. We had been informed that these falsehoods were being spread by businesses who profited from or had financial interest in performing declaws. MYTH #1 was part of the testimony given by NJVMA Board Member veterinarian Dr Mike Yurkus of Middletown Animal Hospital before the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee on November 14, 2016. He stated: “We recently conducted a study in New Jersey of our members. Over 100 practices got back to us. The average number of declaws that is done by the average practice in New Jersey is less than 9 a year. My own practice has only done two this year. That’s why we are only doing a few a year because we train people not to do them.” FACT: Our investigation revealed that of the 97 practices that declaw cats, 72% performed multiple declaws each month, which would average a minimum of 24 a year. These 70 practices stated they perform declaws “routinely”, “commonly”, or “frequently”. MYTH #2: Yurkus stated in his testimony, NJ veterinarians “try to suggest every other alternative (to declawing) first”, and declawing is only offered as a last resort after all other methods and education have failed. FACT: Our investigation revealed that only 12% of NJ practices who declaw cats offered or suggested alternatives or asked why the cat owner wanted to declaw his or her cat. These results directly contradict the testimony of the NJVMA before the NJ Legislature.
