Also Jiri, what could possibly be another spin on it? Do you not believe they cut the barbs off the animals to avoid them from harming people? If that did in fact take place it's a ridiculous practice to mutilate an animal for peoples enjoyment.
And whoever said that cat's get declawed all the time. Ding Ding Ding. We have a winner. It's a cruel practice and shouldn't be done.

You have a lot of good points Sowa, as do the people who arguing against you in this thread. For me, I lie somewhere in the middle. Unfortunitly for you, your finding out from this thread (you probably already knew) that there is a stigma attached to people like yourself, and who you associated with in the past, and some of the responses in here a little over the top imo. I also wonder what other reason the barbs would have been removed for, when the Zoo has clearly stated it's for the protection of the customers.
