Educate! Don't Amputate!
This site has pics of actual declaw surgery as it's happening, declawing horror stories, behavior modification
or destructive surgery?, ans lots more. The declawing surgery page has some graphic pics, but we all need to educate ourselves
as to what is actually involved in this process.

This site has great information, including images of what happens during declawing.
There is also info on psychological and behavioral complications, humane considerations, etc.

Some good alternatives to declawing are Soft Paws, Sticky Paws (which I personally use), and sisal rope
scratching poles, which I also have for my cats.
