I hope you never own a pet.
We have 3 cats, 2 dogs, and 1 deceased dog. We also had several llamas, and breifly had some sheep.
Nice personal attack, though.

Tell that to Michael Vick and that nice felony dog fighting charge.

Nobody has mention declawed cats and litter boxes, so I'd like to add my 2 cents. I use to volunteer at a no-kill cat shelter, and there was a room for cats that can't (or won't) use a litter box. There were many reasons why the cats might be there, some had bladder problems, one was paralyzed, some were sick and there temporarily... but the biggest single reason for a cat to end up in that room was because it was and indoor cat declawed by its owner.
People would get their cats declawed and bring them home. The cat would go to use the litter box and the grains of litter and the digging movements would cause them extreme pain that they began to associate with the litter box. And then they'd stop using it. And because the owners don't want a cat that won't use a litter box, they end up at the shelter. Even after their paws have healed most of them still won't ever use the litter box. They will more than likely spend the rest of their lives in that room because who would want to adopt them? The shelter tries to give them a good live, but no one hardly ever even visits that room because the smell is so bad.
They are sweet, loving cats that didn't deserve to have that happen to them. Declawing is a terrible, terrible thing.
We can choose to treat our pets as members of the family. Some people don't choose that. People buy pets as guards (guard dogs), for agriculture (sheep dogs), for assistance (seeing-eye pets), and sports (dog fighting, **** fighting, etc.).
Our pets are our property. What someone does with their property is only their business.
We had my cat declawed when he was very young, after we got him from the pound. He lived a long, happy and fulfilled life some 13 years afterwards. So, yeah. Now obviously, there are risks and concerns with declawing a cat, and rightfully so. It should only be done if there is no alternative. It's not a decision that one should halfass. But an overall ban is ridiculous and unnecessary.
