Thanks for visiting Scoop. I have few rules for this site, as I think the more rules the less fun, and I hate restricting speech of any kind (with the exception of hate speech.) But I do have to offer some guidelines because of some abuses we've encountered lately. Here's one:

Now that's a way to tire out a dog! Chasing a ball in thick sand! Love the videos, Claudia. Thanks to you and Stephen for taking video of Sadie today for that potential adopter in Colorado. But hopefully this SF one will turn out :-)

Claudia Inoue replied to Ben Swan's discussion 'AP: Los Angeles moves to ban declawing of cats'

Like I posted earlier under a different blog, I have been gone from my homeland of Germany for 35 years abut at some point, and hopefully still today, German vets, when caught declawing would loose their license....I always loved that!

After being part of a team that reunited a mom with her doggie today, who came within two days of being euthanized, reading this makes today a double 'yippee' for me. A major step in the right direction. Thanks for the post, Ben.

Thank you all for responding! I have tried everything I could think of to find his owners with no success. In spite of the fact that he is declawed, he was obviously well cared for before he lost his home. We love this cat, but my female cat hates...
