Merc columnist again defends declawing -- please respond!

[Guest guest]

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.mercurynews.com/patty-fisher/ci_13795417

 

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

(http://www.mercurynews.com/patty-fisher/ci_13743890).
