If done by the right vet, in my opinion, declawing is humane. My cat was declawed when he was a kitten when we got him. Outdoor cats probably shouldn't be declawed, but that's my opinion. Indoor cats don't use their front claws for anything. Cats use their back claws for mostly everything they do, like jumping and running, and if it does come down to self-defense, cats can bite hard.
