			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The news is good!  Nine out of eleven members of the San Francisco&#8217;s Board of Supervisors have co-signed the bill introduced by Ross Mirkarimi to ban declawing&nbsp;cats.</p>
<p>The two holdouts are Michela Alioto-Pier and Sean Elsbernd.  Their reasoning?  Alioto-Pier thinks the board has better things to do.  Elsbernd  feels that it&#8217;s a matter between cat guardian and&nbsp;vet.</p>
<p>Cat Faeries has called both supervisors offices.   The clerk at the office of Alioto-Pier was rude and hostile.  Elsbernd&#8217;s email reply was terse and&nbsp;stubborn.</p>
<p>Even if these two Supervisors remain stuck in their clueless thinking, the 9 compassionate supervisors who are pledged to vote in favor of the ban are what it will take to pass the&nbsp;bill!</p>
<p>The vote is next week (the week of November 9th).   Cat Faeries blog readers will be among the first to&nbsp;know!</p>
<p>More good news.   Berkeley and Los Angeles are also considering banning declawing!  Hats off to West Hollywood for being the first and the inspiration for other cities to&nbsp;follow!</p>
