Had some people over, watched The Boondock Saints for St Patties day, had a few drinks then had a hockey game at 9:30.

Well then you have unusal circumstances to make you keep the cat. You could have taken her to a grocery store and given her to a family or something, no? That's all fine and dandy, and I agree with you, which is why I said I'm not fond of spaying () and neutering, but I added that it has health benefits because that's what I've *heard*. I still don't really agree with it though. My dog was neutered when I got him, my other dog is not spayed and will never be spayed.

***It is not. It goes back to hurting animals just for human convenience. that is the problem with declawing isn't it? So, why doesn't it appear to be a problem when it comes to animals who aren't cuddly and furry? Declawing is for laziness, eating a chicken is for nutrition.

So why not keep her that night then bring her to a (no kill) shelter the next day? I agree that an Oophorectomy is the same in both humans and animals but that's not what you were arguing. You weren't comparing ovary removal in people to animals, you were saying that declawing and ovary removal are the same, which is wrong.

me too

I just answered you in my last reply. Again, this is a completely differnt topic, make another thread if you want to debate it with people.

I find that really sad. That was not the subject at hand so how do you know how many people are ok with it and against declawing? I, for one, am not fond of spaying or neutering, although it does actually have some health benefits, where declawing is strictly for the owners convienience, as you've just demostrated. That's comparing apples and oragnes, it's not even the same. An Oophorectomy (removal of one or both ovaries) is performed to: remove cancerous ovaries, remove a large ovarian cyst , excise an abscess, treat endometriosis or remove the source of estrogen that stimulates some cancers. Cutting off someone's fingertips has no health benefit whatsoever (unless they are diseased, if you want to get extreme) That is a whole different topic that I'm not going to start in this thread arguing about.

Why was it declaw or death?

What the? What are you talking about? lol

Do you even have to ask?

reading comprehension > you Where does it say anything about taking off the entire finger? If the last joint of all your fingers was removed, it would be the same as declawing a cat, so your argument is completely void.
-
Cool...then we can put you under anaestetic and take half your fingers off terrible analogy. the degree of handicapping received by removing one's fingers is not analogous to removing a cat's claws. try again. Care to elaborate on why it isn't?
-
Contrary to most people's understanding, declawing consists of amputating not just the claws, but the whole phalanx (up to the joint), including bones, ligaments, and tendons. To remove the claw, the bone, nerve, joint capsule, collateral ligaments, and the extensor and flexor tendons must all be amputated. Thus declawing is not a “simple”, single surgery but 10 separate, painful amputations of the third phalanx up to the last joint of each toe. A graphic comparison in human terms would be the cutting off of a person's finger at the last joint of each finger. I think it's sad that people do this to their cats merely to fit their lifestyle, aesthetics, or convenience without any benefit to the cat.

stale peeps > all

You know what nevermind, it's not even worth it.

quoted for truth.

That really sucks, I know how you feel. Most guys will say anything to you to make you feel special then just use you for sex and move on. It's really quite sad and not to mention hurtful. Just gotta keep lookin for the one guy who will be telling the truth when he says you are the only one & special to him.

That's longer than average!

What the hell? These arent riddles... they are jokes. Here's a riddle for you: Here on earth it is true, yesterday is always before today; but there is a place where yesterday always follows today. Where?
