I put quotes around the word "mutilate" to highlight it as an example of the emotionally charged words the anti-declaw people tend to use. I've seen mutilated animals. Farm machinery usually wreaks havoc on cats. A declawed cat isn't mutilated. Back to the person who thinks it's quite all right to fire a bolt through a cow's head, but at the same time thinks declawing is an ethical problem, I believe they haven't thought it through.
