The word-of-mouth approach and discussions on the internet are helping I'm sure, just not fast enough IMO. If we can't ban it outright, then we need to dry up the demand for it. What bothers me is that the national organizations (Humane Society, ASPCA, etc.) that have the funds and clout to launch a high exposure media blitz about declawing, seem to be mostly silent on the issue.
