I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

It's absolutely heartbreaking to see what has been happening to these poor cats (this includes domestic cats, lions, and tigers). As we all know, some humans can be pretty unfeeling and barbaric all in the name of the almighty dollar. Well, boys and girls, I'm happy to report that the money train is rolling toward its final stop thanks to the lovingly heroic efforts of the wonderful folks who produced this most enlightening documentary. Wow, I never knew declawing was so crippling. I have a feeling YOU never knew this either. If you love cats--or even if you don't but would never want to see any animal suffer--please see THE PAW PROJECT.

I've had kitties all my life. We never declawed them. This was not really a family policy in as much as I think it never really occurred to us and it was never really a problem with the kitties we had.Kitties like to claw. This is not a behavioral problem. It's just a natural behavior of cats. As an adult I've had cats who have decimated my sofas and I definitely was unhappy about this, but I still felt even without having researched this that declawing was never an option no matter what. it just seemed barbaric.This documentary was extremely informative and heartbreaking. I learned a lot about the reality of declawing and what it really means for the animal. The images of the big cats having difficulty walking is like a knife in the heart. It was a beautiful act of incredible kindness and empathy that this vet performed surgery on all of these animals to restore their sense of well being and dignity. Through the legal hearings and proceedings you hear both arguments; some say that declawing cats spares them from the shelter (death) and others say that declawing CAUSES them to end up in the shelter due to behavior problems (litter box aversion due to painful paws) and also biting. Perhaps as some have pointed out that the story is one sided. I've yet to see a documentary that presents both sides equally. Be that as it may; though both arguments make sense the bottom line is that the procedure is unnecessary and painful. If you're going to have an animal in your home you have to understand what that means and shouldn't surgically alter it to fit your needs.I do hope this procedure becomes illegal in the U.S. and though plenty of people might be at risk of having torn up furniture they would be forced to find kinder alternatives to protecting an inanimate object.

I decided to watch this documentary because I have a couple cats and love all animals and thought it would be informative. Boy did I ever learn about the cruel practise of declawing cats! Several years ago when I got my first cat, I actually considered it briefly because I though it was the " thing to do" if you wanted to protect your furniture. All I can say is thank god I decided against it in the end and didn't think it was necessary or I would have had a lifetime of regret for what I would have done to my poor kitty. I think this documentary has raised many valid points I was not aware of and I think that all cat owners must be made aware of the consequences of declawing and if they viewed this film, they wouldn't be getting their cars declawed, at least most of them with the exception of the few that are brainwashed by their vets into thinking it's the prosper thing to do so that they have a bigger bottom line. That is want it's all about is making money as their is absolutely no other positive aspect of this barbaric procedure!

Try living without your fingertips and walking without toes. That's what this cat documentary says very well. There are over 22 million declawed cats in the US that lead miserable lives thanks to this barbaric mutilation of cats' feet. Want to protect your furniture? This is NOT an option. Several vets and advocates take you thru the process of declawing a house cat or kitten. Not graphic, with many medical scenes done with CGI. For cat lovers and anyone with a heart and compassion for animals, big and small. Also, this movie is a bit of a recruiting film to build awareness about a spreading push to make declawing illegal throughout the country. Got my vote.
