The Bowmanville Zoological Park5 hours ago · EditedLast week we rallied against PETA for not listening to the people. It would be total hypocrisy on our part not to follow our own advice. As a consequence the policy of declawing the cats at Bowmanville Zoo, which was always in place for the animals' safety, will be discontinued. We will continue to move forward with innovative and appropriate management techniques to ensure that our animals' welfare is always paramount at Bowmanville Zoo.To be clear, we will not be declawing any of the cubs or any other cat. Instead, we will implement new handling protocols that keep clawed big cats away from other big cats (clawed or not).We deeply care about our animals and we respect the opinions of all people.
As a gesture of good will, the zoo plans to donate a portion of its proceeds from this weekend’s ticket sales to the Paw Project, a group dedicated to ending declawing.
