At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

It's absolutely heartbreaking to see what has been happening to these poor cats (this includes domestic cats, lions, and tigers). As we all know, some humans can be pretty unfeeling and barbaric all in the name of the almighty dollar. Well, boys and girls, I'm happy to report that the money train is rolling toward its final stop thanks to the lovingly heroic efforts of the wonderful folks who produced this most enlightening documentary. Wow, I never knew declawing was so crippling. I have a feeling YOU never knew this either. If you love cats--or even if you don't but would never want to see any animal suffer--please see THE PAW PROJECT.

I decided to watch this documentary because I have a couple cats and love all animals and thought it would be informative. Boy did I ever learn about the cruel practise of declawing cats! Several years ago when I got my first cat, I actually considered it briefly because I though it was the " thing to do" if you wanted to protect your furniture. All I can say is thank god I decided against it in the end and didn't think it was necessary or I would have had a lifetime of regret for what I would have done to my poor kitty. I think this documentary has raised many valid points I was not aware of and I think that all cat owners must be made aware of the consequences of declawing and if they viewed this film, they wouldn't be getting their cars declawed, at least most of them with the exception of the few that are brainwashed by their vets into thinking it's the prosper thing to do so that they have a bigger bottom line. That is want it's all about is making money as their is absolutely no other positive aspect of this barbaric procedure!

This is an inspiring yet disturbing documentary of how Veterinarian Jennifer Conrad and other animal advocates overcame the lobbying efforts of the CVMA (Calif. Veterinary Med. Assoc.) and SFVMA (San Francisco Vet. Med. Assoc.) to suppress the truth about the utter cruelty and maiming effect of feline declawing. Dr. Conrad exposes how these organizations don't act as true medical associations but rather as trade associations protecting the economic interests of their members, who can make over a thousand dollars for each declawing procedure. About 25% of the 80 million domestic cats are declawed in the U.S., that is, 20 million declawed cats. 20 million declawed cats can potentially represent $2 trillion @ $1,000, for example. Every developed country except the United States has outlawed cat declawing, but California is now the first state to have a handful of cities, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, to ban declawing. I rated this 10 out of 10 on IMDb: a very important success of those who are opposed to any kind of cruelty, and one that needs to be built upon, so that one day the U.S. will join the rest of the civilized world in banning this cruel practice.

Try living without your fingertips and walking without toes. That's what this cat documentary says very well. There are over 22 million declawed cats in the US that lead miserable lives thanks to this barbaric mutilation of cats' feet. Want to protect your furniture? This is NOT an option. Several vets and advocates take you thru the process of declawing a house cat or kitten. Not graphic, with many medical scenes done with CGI. For cat lovers and anyone with a heart and compassion for animals, big and small. Also, this movie is a bit of a recruiting film to build awareness about a spreading push to make declawing illegal throughout the country. Got my vote.
