If you're not, please help Paw Project end this cruelty.
As a member of Coalition to Protect and Rescue Pets, you have proven the power of grassroots activism, passing two breakthrough state laws in two years without funding or a formal organization. You raised awareness of and banned a longstanding underground cruelty--devocalization--and in 2008, prohibited the emerging pet rental trade before it had a chance to take root in Massachusetts.
United We Stand...for Animals.
Other all-volunteer animal advocacy organizations across the country are also making tremendous strides. From time to time, we'd like to bring them to your attention. Rather than funding huge executive salaries, your donations will directly support passage of meaningful laws to protect animals.
Meet Paw Project.
Paw Project is an all-volunteer organization working tirelessly to end declawing--more accurately, deknuckling--through education and legislation. It already has banned declawing in seven California cities, and has a pending state bill there that will prevent landlords from requiring tenants to declaw or devocalize their pets.
Surprisingly, landlord associations support the legislation. But predictably, the California Veterinary Medical Association is fighting it--just as the Masschusetts Veterinary Medical Association lobbied against the devocalization ban.
Like devocalization, declawing is a painful, risky, unnecessary surgery done strictly for convenience and profit without any benefit for the animal. Declawed cats are abandoned same as those with intact paws.
