Mirkarimi has at least one constiuency: cats

The Board of Supervisors is on break for a month starting Wednesday, but Ross

Mirkarimi managed to squeeze in several pieces of important legislation under

the wire -- including one that would ban the declawing of cats.

 

The move comes a month after the board's advisory Animal Control and Welfare

Commission recommended the supervisors ban what Mirkarimi called a " cruel and

painful procedure. " It was also good for a little laughter at Tuesday's board

meeting: somewhat unusually, he introduced the measure with a knock-knock joke

about a cat who couldn't knock because it didn't have knuckles.

 

If it's passed, it will be just in time: a state law signed this summer bars

local municipalities from enacting their own laws like this. Posted By: Marisa
