Five years after the city council of West Hollywood enacted their landmark prohibition of the practice of declawing, the California State legislature, prompted by a veterinary special interest lobby group, is considering a bill which would overturn West Hollywood's humane ordinance.

City of West Hollywood, 152 Cal. App. 3d 536 (2007).Assembly member Mike Eng introduced AB 2427.
