Well, it's their neighborhood, I guess they can ban anything they like:

The mayor of West Hollywood -- a liberal, pet-embracing city adjacent to Los Angeles that two years ago brought America a ban on the declawing of cats -- has proposed a new ordinance making "tail-docking" and "ear-cropping" illegal.

Of course, since this is a municipality and not a state or country, the action is basically symbolic. I'm conditioned pavlov-style by Ellen to agree unequivocally that declawing should be outlawed*, but I don't know near as much about the downside of canine "enhancements". Dobermans with tails and floppy ears would certainly be weird looking, I'll give you that.

* But I draw the line at placing these owners in purpose-built stockades in front of the clinic. Others in my house, of course, disagree. Let's just say I'm glad Ellen isn't very good at carpentry.
