Good ‘Mews’ for Renters’ Animals

Woot, woot—or should I say “woof, woof”?—to the California Assembly for passing a bill last week that would make it illegal for landlords to require tenants to declaw or devocalize their animal companions.

A place that requires its residents to amputate their family members’ toes or cut out their vocal cords sounds more like a detainment facility than “home sweet home.” But, some properties require renters to put their animal companions through these painful, debilitating, and unnecessary procedures. Let’s hope that this bill clears all the remaining hurdles and gets written into law soon. Its next stop is the California Senate—so, Golden State residents, please urge your senator to save animals’ toes and throats by supporting AB 2743!
