🎉AMAZING NEWS FOR ANIMALS IN ONTARIO🎉
We are thrilled to share that Ontario has officially announced that, effective January 1, 2027, declawing in cats and ear cropping in dogs will be prohibited.
This is a huge step forward for animal welfare in our province and a victory for the many advocates, veterinarians, rescues, and animal lovers who have worked tirelessly to educate the public about these painful and unnecessary procedures!
Declawing is not simply removing a cat's claws — it involves amputating part of each toe and can lead to lifelong pain, mobility issues, and behavioural changes. Cats deserve to keep the body parts nature gave them💚
At Biscuits & Purrs Cat Rescue, we celebrate every step that helps create a kinder future for animals. We are hopeful this change will help raise awareness about humane alternatives and encourage pet owners to better understand their companions' natural behaviours💚
Today, we're celebrating progress!!💚🐾
