Jackson Galaxy and his Chasing News’ Interview with Bill Spadea
June 28, 2018
Bill Spadea, host of Chasing News, invited Jackson Galaxy to attend a debate on declawing. The main topic of the show is the New Jersey bill, NJ S1209, that will ban the declawing of cats. The video was posted on YouTube on June 5, 2018.
Jackson Galaxy is the leading specialist on cat behavior. He hosts the television show “My Cat from Hell” that addresses the unwanted behavior often displayed by domestic cats. Jackson was apparently excited about doing the interview because declawing is one thing he really detests.
After the show was posted, Jackson realized that most of his interview was edited out. All the main information he presented against declawing was deleted. Needless to say, Jackson Galaxy is furious!
In reply to the way he has been treated, Jackson decided to re-edit the show which posted on June 26, 2018. His narrative is very informative and should be viewed by all. You can find it here:

The write-up underneath the video is very educational with many supportive links. It is reprinted below.

Declawing has always been a very important issue to me, as it should be for anybody who loves cats (or respects animals). This video is pretty self-explanatory but, just to recap: I got a last minute interview request from a “news” show discussing proposed legislation to ban declawing in the state of New Jersey. I provided 15 minutes of anecdotal and empirical evidence to support the case against declawing and promote the passing of the bill. By the time the show was presented, they included only a few seconds of my footage in an introductory package. The harm was done when afterwards they opened the discussion to a panel who made a mockery of this bill and diminish the impact it would have on the animal world without giving me (the only cat expert in the story) a chance to plead the case. This act of highjackery deserves a response and here it is.
