There's never a valid reason to declaw a cat. It's removing the last joint of each toe and is animal cruelty.
The problem is vets don't explain it to owners, because they just want the $.
You've got shit vets then
And we have shit doctors who just want to make cash.
no one does that
most people don't do that.
There's no good evidence of any other animal aside from us actually crying with tears. Can animals tear up a little during heightened emotions? Sure. And yeah, I understand some animals do have emotions, they're just not exactly the same as us. Doesn't mean they're worthless.
So I'm not saying the cows aren't distressed, but they aren't crying tears like sobbing children.
Okay PETA
a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
if you are worried about those things to the point where cutting off the toes of pets for convenience is a consideration , you should not get the pet (or re-home it if you already have it).
Incidentally cats can be trained, it's not the same as dog training but it does exist in some forms.
