Declawing is completely legal where I live.

Well....My Pitt Bull was all smiles and wasn't hungry for a couple of
days, but he wasn't saying anything.

Is that the proper spelling of "pitbull terrier"? Or another breed.

Both spellings are widely used. The spelling "Pitt-bull" 2 t's, is
more commonly used for the raised and trained to fight variety that I
raise. The single "t" pitbull is usually the terrier pet. When
advertising dog fights the spelling "Pitt Bull" is used. These
fighting dogs are fed protein only usually gunpowder peppered steaks.
Why the gunpowder? you may ask. Gunpowder brings out the fight
readiness in the dog, it burns their stomachs making them fierce
fighters. If someone is placing a $10,000 bet on your dog you had
better have a good fighter or you could lose more than your dog at the
fight. <high rollers have been known to kill owners and one another

They tend to go with "terrier" here because of the county laws
banning pitbulls. There are still a lot that are surrendered or
seized and you can't put a death sentence on innocent puppies.
