No, it's silly because the shelters are already overrun with cats. If you pass this law it will prevent a lot of people from getting a cat, because they don't want all their furniture torn up.
I have about 20 barn cats outside with claws, but my 2 house cats are declawed.
These 2 hung out on the porch waiting for someone to open the door so they could run inside. They finally won and I let them stay. However, I was not about to let them destroy all my furniture. I am sure some cats can be trained to use a scratching post, but by the time they are trained your furniture is trash.
If that makes me cruel, so be it.
I also burn the horns off my goats too, so that makes me a serial offender.
Declawing them means cutting parts of their toes off. Would you like parts of your toes cut off? They can’t stretch, climb or exercise properly.
People take animal cruelty very light. It’s sickening.

Your argument is specious, and feeble.

Agreed.
