[ActivistsForAnimals] Merc columnist again defends declawing -- please respond!

[Guest guest]

Mike, thanks for spreading the word further, and thanks for your great comment

on the forum about tail docking (Mike responded to someone who was wondering why

we are not upset about tail docking, ear cropping, de-barking, etc.).

The San Jose Mercury News continues to provide a platform to

pro-cruelty propaganda.  Today's Merc has a second column by Patty Fisher

defending the declawing of cats.  It's on page B1 of the print

edition.  Read Fisher's column online at http://www.mercuryn ews.com/patty-

fisher/ci_ 13795417

 

 

 

Fisher's first pro-declawing column was in the 11/9/09

edition of the Merc (http://www.mercuryn ews.com/patty- fisher/ci_ 13743890).
