Late last month, Israel’s legislature passed a bill that outlaws the practice of declawing cats, a move that is a win for animal activists, but devastating to fancy couches and rugs across the country. And the letter of law comes with a hefty pricetag — a $20,000 fine and up to one year in jail.

Cool  christmas4

They figure it as - wanna own a pint-sized, shrunk down lion?  Accept it for what it is, not what the people in the US want to conform it to be.
