Synopsis

Animals are subjected to many controversial procedures, some of which society defends, ironically, through its veterinary standards of practice. But there is a noticeable pattern to the utilization of animals, one which is difficult to escape and divides owners and veterinarians alike: the tendency to view the welfare of animals from the optic of human practicality. The declawing of cats is a pertinent example of this perspective, illustrating why we tolerate non-medically indicated interventions on some of the most cherished sentient beings. It is via similar avenues that we reach conclusions about the treatment of many under our care. The tolerance of declawing thus offers insight about how our society values its animals.
