As many know Mars PetCare has taken over VCA and already owns Banfield and a few other McVets.  Wouldn't it be great if they did the right thing and stopped all their clinics from declawing (and ear cropping and tail docking)

Banfield still pushes declawing.

Probably because it doesn't fall under that "cosmetic purposes" banner.
