In 2009, The Paw Project led the successful campaigns to legally ban declawing of domestic cats in 7 more California cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Burbank, Santa Monica, Berkeley, Beverly Hills and Culver City.
What is illegal is a different type of protection called a laser or radar jammer. These are illegal under federal law plus nine states have specific bans, including California, Utah, Colorado, Virginia, Washington, DC, Nebraska, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Virginia, South Carolina, Texas, Illinois, and Minnesota.
