Krista, you apparently do not work or volunteer in animal rescue or you would know how preposterous it is to report 139k cats found on Petfinder are sitting in shelters in the Denver area. The figure you report is for total cats listed on Petfinder. You are trying to infer that by making declawing illegal, 139k cats are going to die. This is nothing more than an opinion piece loaded with fearmongering.
