City the Kittyさんのインスタグラム写真 - (City the KittyInstagram)「Today is a historic anniversary! ❤️ Declawing was banned in New York State one year ago.🐾🐾👍🏻 Many of the pro-declaw folks and declawing vets use the fear mongering excuse that there would be many more cats in shelters if declawing was banned.😾 Wrong. Here are two recent statements we received from @animalleague and @nycacc 🐾🐾🐈 Also please give a BIG thanks to @pawproject and @humanesociety for this historic bill that protects cats from this barbaric cruelty. "We are approaching the one year mark since the ban went into effect on July 22nd, 2019. We have not seen an increase in owner surrendered cats as a result of the ban. NSALA supported the ban and did not provide declawing services in our Pet Health Centers even before the ban went into effect. There are many other humane options to address the cat’s innate need to scratch. We have seen firsthand the damage caused by declawing both physically and behaviorally when owners want to surrender their declawed cats. We are happy to know that this practice has stopped in New York. Joanne Yohannan, Senior Vice President of Operations, North Shore Animal League America" ❤️🐾 "Anyone thinking that the declawing ban would lead to an increase in cat surrenders in New York City might be surprised to learn that ACC, the only open-admission shelter in NYC, has actually seen a decline in cat intake. At the same time we have seen a 25% increase in the amount of direct adoptions our organization has processed over the past year. The ban does not seem to have affected people's desire to adopt cats in their natural state. Katy Hansen Director of Marketing and Communications Animal Care Centers of NYC" Know the facts- http://citythekitty.org/declawing-facts-vs-myths-humane-options/ Please find a legislator in your state who would introduce a bill to ban declawing. They should contact The Paw Project and they will help them with the bill. ❤️#stopdeclawing #aahaday #aahaaccredited #catvets #catfriendly #catfriendlypractice #aafp #newyorkcats」7月23日 7時54分
