Nova Scotia has gone ahead and banned declawing, ear cropping, tail docking and debarking. Basically they have banned unnecessary surgeries on pets. They make the point that none of these procedures in any way benefits the pet. We do it for our own needs. We want the pet to look a certain way or we can't be bothered to cut a cat's claws regularly.

They join BC that has already banned declawing. It is time that we recognized that what we do to our pets is sometimes not in their bets interests. We have some hidden goal or out dated breed standard that we are aiming for.
Declawing is extremely cruel and there is no justification for it. I hope this is the first of many bans of unnecessary procedures for pets. It is time we accepted our pets for who the are and stop trying to change them. They are living beings and should be respected as such. Well done Nova Scotia.
