An animal activist in Dryden says she wants to see legislation at Queen's Park that bans declawing cats in Ontario.
Camille Cox says declawing not only removes the claws, but also a significant part of the bone.
“There's just so many cats out there that are being declawed, and it cruel, it's painful to them,” she said.
“Why put a cat through that … would you like it if all your fingers were cut off?”
Cox says declawing can cause many long-term health and behavioural problems in cats.
Her petition supporting a ban was presented to the legislature Tuesday by Sarah Campbell, MPP for Kenora-Rainy River.
