Onikektomi

Pencabutan cakar, atau dalam bahasa kedokteran disebut dengan Onikektomi, adalah operasi yang bertujuan untuk mengangkat dan menghilangkan cakar hewan (misalnya kucing dan anjing) dengan cara mengamputasikan seluruh atau sebagian dari falang distal, atau memutuskan tulang, jari kaki hewan. Karena cakar berkembang dari jaringan germinal dalam falang ketiga, maka amputasi tulang diperlukan untuk sepenuhnya menghapus cakar.
Meskipun hal ini umum di Amerika Utara,[1] pencabutan kuku dianggap sebagai tindak kekejaman terhadap hewan di banyak negara, seperti Australia,[2] Brasil,[3] Eropa,[4] Austria,[5] Britania Raya,[6] Israel,[7] dan Amerika Serikat.[8]
