Task: Toxic Language Detection
Input (English): Comment: (cont'd.)
There are humane ways to control or redirect a cat's behavior in this regard.  There is a reason most veterinarians will not perform this procedure except in cases of last resort, not first, and that some veterinary schools do not teach the procedure.  The very fact that cats continue to try to scratch following this procedure should indicate to an intelligent person that they prefer to have their claws.  And no one is asking an owner to choose between altering and declawing.  One is necessary, the other is not.

I hope the reason the Post printed this letter is to show how ignorant some people actually are.  I implore this letter-writer not to continue declawing just because that's what she's always done.  The cats God has allowed to be in your care deserve better.
