Israel Bans Cat Declawing: Will U.S. Follow?
by Megan Drake

Hats off to Israel’s parliament for passing a ban on declawing of cats. The ban was approved by the Knesset Monday, November 28. And, the new law has some bite to it. Punishment consists of up to one year in prison and a fine of 75,000 shekels (a little more than $20,000.). Other countries that outlaw declawing or consider it inhumane are:

Australia
Brazil
United Kingdom
Finland
Estonia
Netherlands
Germany
Switzerland
Austria
