The deadline has been extended until 3rd July 2010! We found out we were missing out on some signatures because the confimation email wasn't coming from No. 10!!!!

This was the email they sent yesterday:

Thanks Angie. How people can dump kittens (or any animal for that matter) is just heartbreaking.

But do know our local petshop that sells kittens only does so when they are dumped on their doorstep - so its not always black and white!

Thanks Babz, i'll have a look at Yahoo

Babz · « **Reply #45 on:** October 24, 2009, 13:26:55 PM »

Our little band of anti declaw troops goes on Yahoo Answers quite a lot as there is always declaw questions popping up on there. Every chance we get we put the petition link at the bottom of our replies and so far have got away with it. Maybe you could somehow give that a try if you could reply to some "I want a kitty" questions. Mind you they don't seem to routinely neuter cats the way we do in the UK, there always seems to be a plethora of kittens available there.

Shirley · « **Reply #44 on:** October 24, 2009, 13:15:53 PM »

I'd signed your declawing petition! I know what you mean tho about getting people to see it! Sue (the one who set up our petition) and i started putting it on a lot of postings on Catchat but there were complaints from some , so we were told to stop doing that. Such a shame cos there's been so many newbies lately and not everyone looks at the petitons forum, do they?
Good luck with yours!

Babz · « **Reply #43 on:** October 24, 2009, 12:18:51 PM »

I think a lot of people would sign it if they came across it, it's getting to people isn't it?

It's a similar thing with our ban declawing petition, most people are horrified when they read about it and only too glad to sign but it's getting people to read about it thats the problem.

I've put yours on my 2 groups and will try and think of more places to put it. I hope you get the 1000.

Would be great to get up to the 1000 mark!

Its sickning how easily these monsters can get hold of kittens/cats (and other animals for that matter) through pet shops or free ads.

henrietta · « **Reply #33 on:** September 01, 2009, 16:27:51 PM »

These people are horrible bullies who should be nowhere near animals let alone selling them.
I would also be interested to know more about the training of greyhounds in which they
use cats as bait. Where do they get them from?

I was horrified when OH had been in town and told me he saw 2 beautiful kittens for sale on view in a pet shop! Looks like they are widening their field!

moira · « **Reply #31 on:** September 01, 2009, 10:17:11 AM »

Many thanks to everyone who has signed. Now at 591.

Shirley · « **Reply #30 on:** September 01, 2009, 07:19:19 AM »

Thank you so much Henrietta, and Weesilvie what an upsetting story. I would've felt sick too!
I went to my local market last week and on one of the stalls selling nothing to do with animals, was a notice saying kitten free to good home-would the owner have even cared where the poor thing would've ended up, the same with pet shop owners.
I really hope this petition works-please ask anyone you know to sign.
Thanks again!

weesilvie · « **Reply #29 on:** August 31, 2009, 22:14:27 PM »

Absolutely and totally signed. Last year I found a little basket full of kittens, clearly less that 8 weeks old, in a cage, in a local independent pet shop. I also found guinea pigs and rabbits in the same cage - they often don't get on and end up injuring each other. I felt sick for ages after that. I know, I could or should have said something - but i just knew I'd get nowhere with the type of guy the owner was, from overhearing him talking to another customer. The thought of it still makes me very angry.
