Maryland to consider banning cat declawing [View all]
Maryland is working to pass a law that would ban cat declawing in the state as a House bill supporting the move passed last week.
The bill says it would prohibit "veterinary practitioner from performing certain declawing procedures on a cat unless the procedure is necessary for a therapeutic purpose; authorizing the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners to impose certain disciplinary actions on a veterinary practitioner for willful violations of the prohibition."
A person who violates the law would receive a $1,000 fine.
The bill passed the House on March 10 in a vote of 112 to 25 and it was referred to the Senate Education, Health and Environmental Affairs committee.
