    "Robustly persuasive, with Conrad compellingly framing her crusade as a battle between a right-thinking vet and a deep-pocketed industry group that purportedly represents her."
    - The Los Angeles Times

    "Eye-opening...charming"
    - The Village Voice

    "A heartfelt documentary....Certainly will make any cat owner, and perhaps some fellow veterinarians, think twice about declawing."
    - The New York Times

    "The Paw Project proves that film has the power to effect social change-to right wrongs even when our elected representatives fail to do so."
    - Scott Tallal, Executive Director, Malibu Film Society

    "This film is an inspiring emotional ride that should be seen by every animal lover and anyone who has ever been aware of a wrong and wanted to right it."

    - Cinema Beach

    "The Paw Project doesn't have gruesome, bloody imagery or try to horrify you or guilt trip you. It explains how declawing actually works, why many people are against it, and leaves you empowered knowing you can do something about it."
    - Danica Davidson, MTV

     

    About the Documentary

    (runtime: 58 minutes)
    The Paw Project documentary is an inspiring David and Goliath story of a grassroots movement to protect felines, both large and small, from the cruelty of declawing and how the movement has prevailed, despite the efforts of well-funded professional veterinary associations.

    In the United States today, approximately 25% of domesticated cats are declawed.  Declawing is the amputation of the last bone in a cat's toes.  Despite the physical and behavioral harm inflicted on cats who are declawed, many veterinarians continue to recommend the procedure, which costs upwards of $1,200. per hour – even for very young kittens.

    These are animals we love, and with whom we share our homes.  Why aren't we being told the truth about what the declawing procedure involves?  The Paw Project documentary chronicles the happy and unexpected twist of fate that led to the protection of many animals through the grassroots advocacy efforts led by Dr. Conrad and The Paw Project.
