Declawing is bad enough, BUT what about the practice of cutting the cats' tendons?

Declawing is bad enough, BUT what about the practice of cutting the cats' tendons? Janet Kanahara, who does cat rescue for Royal City Humane Society, is at this time desperately trying to find a home for two cats with cut tendons. The owners, after doing this dirty deed, decided they didn't want them, and turned them in to the shelter. They had never cut the claws (which continue to grow), the claws had grown right into their paws, so they had to be taken to the vet to have this corrected.
