Opinion (Ethics)

California recently banned declawing of cats for non-therapeutic purposes as of March 2024, joining the movement toward more restrictive animal welfare regulations. While this law aims to prevent unnecessary suffering, some veterinarians argue it removes a legitimate treatment option for pet owners facing difficult behavioral situations that could lead to animal abandonment. How should veterinarians balance their professional judgment about individual animal welfare against evolving legal mandates that restrict certain procedures?
