New Bill Aims to Ban Cat Declawing
Season 2025
Episode 352
A proposed California law would make cat declawing illegal across the state, citing animal cruelty concerns. Supporters say the procedure is inhumane and unnecessary, while some vets argue for exceptions in medical cases. If passed, California would join New York and Maryland in outlawing the practice statewide.
