You ' re certainly right that it doesn ' t always mess them up psychologically . Before I found out what declawing really was , we had ours declawed and they all seemed ok temperamentally . But it definitely does mess them up physically . And it really is cruel . If you ' re unfamiliar with what declawing actually is , you should look into it . I ' m not one to say that everyone must avoid declawing . but I do think you need to be aware of what you ' re doing to your friends before you do it . <| sep |> If you had to define what it looks like , Truth is the opposite of knowing . but that isn ' t quite right either . <| sep |> who is that ? Fuck knows <| sep |> Every group has it ' s asses and it ' s saints , but the asses get more press .
