Ohio GOP state Rep. Al Cutrona. He’s introduced legislation to make it illegal to declaw cats, which one veterinarian says can cause chronic pain and other health problems; behavioral issues; and an inability to run, jump or climb. Cutrona called declawing “basically sadistic.” The practice is already banned in Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island and Virginia. (News 5 Cleveland)
