A Gallery of Declaw Pimps of the Past
Nice mullet, Ed!
Retired, fortunately...
Rod Hartwick, DVM
self-proclaimed "Father" of Laser Declaw Procedure. Promoted a high-tech method of mutilating cats. As a child, he pulled the wings off flies.
Edgar Folkers, DVM
of Mission Viejo, CA called the idea of banning declawing "ridiculous" and "hysterical." He says "Cats don't need claws," and declaws a third of the cats in his practice - for fees of $245 to $350.
not "out" yet
lady look like a dude
John S. Parker, DVM
(not actual photo)
of Novi, MI wrote a letter to JAVMA calling declaw opponents "PETA left-wing extremists," "emotional," and "silly."  He frequently submits his rants to veterinary journals.
Joan Miller of Cat Fanciers Association
The CFA loves cats, like you might love your car or a favorite shirt or some other piece of property, because to the CFA, that's what a cat is...property. Miller was nearly hysterical when a bill that planned to abolish declawing was introduced in California.
Charles Acton, DVM
Dr. Acton, of Laguna Hills, CA has a website that boasts,
"All of Dr. Actons's cats are declawed." Shameful.
Valerie Fenstermaker
Ms. Fenstermaker is the rabidly
pro-declaw executive director of the California Veterinary Medical Association
Alice Villalobos, DVM
AKA Cruella DeVillalobos
The self-promoting President of the Human-Animal Bond Veterinarians writes a column for the
Veterinary Practice News that promotes declawing, ear cropping and tail docking. 
She had her own dog "debarked."
