Did you know that a lot of privately owned tigers and other exotics are also declawed? People think it makes them "safe". Hah! What a joke.
All is really does is sever tendons that cause the cat to begin to walk on their "elbow" so sad.
At the place where I volunteer, we rescued a leopard out of a junkyard. He had been declawed and now he walks flat-footed and requires a surgical correction.
I wish it were illegal in the US as well. The good news is that a lot of vets won't perform the procedure.
