NEW YORK The Empire State has become the first in the nation to make declawing cats illegal.
Governor Andrew Cuomo signed it into law Monday, threatening anybody who performs the procedure unless its medically necessary with a fine of $1,000.
"Declawing is a cruel and painful procedure that can create physical and behavioral problems for helpless animals, and today it stops," Cuomo said.
"By banning this archaic practice, we will ensure that animals are no longer subjected to these inhumane and unnecessary procedures."
