I don't like declawing, but if declawing gets more cats into homes and out of shelters, I can deal with the idea. I just started working at an animal shelter last week, and as much as I enjoy working with the animals, it's heartbreaking to see so many of them without homes (think of those ASPCA commercials, but fortunately without the sad music). I do my best to educate people on the alternatives such as claw clipping and the Soft Paws claw caps and very much prefer those alternatives, but again, my main priority is getting these cats into homes.
I do have my share of scratches from working with the kitties, but that's part of the job, lol! Mostly they're just playing and get a little too excited (since they don't get nearly as much attention as they would like).
