In connection with the above post on "de-clawing", it's not just the claw that is removed; it includes the first joint, like the doctor cutting off the first inch or so of your fingers. Excruciatingly painful during the healing period.

How would YOU function with all your fingers lopped off like that? I am not saying you are the one who had this done to this godforsaken creature, but whoever did, please hope you don't meet me on a dark street one night.
