I love my cats but I don't work to pay for things, for them to tear up.
Parents have baby boy's penises cut, I don't think it's so inhumane to declaw cats. Just my opinion though...

Cats are extremely intelligent animals.. Once they learn something they never forget, but the mistake people make is trying to train them like a dog. They are not dogs. They are cats. They think and learn differently. In my former home with 7 cats, I NEVER had problems with them scratching furniture, climbing or clawing things up. Then again I took the time to train them right the first time (even the ones I got as adults, cats can be trained at ANY point in their lives), it took me about two weeks, and I never had a problem again. The inhumanity in declawing cats is that you are physically causing them many more problems then you are fixing.
Still don't think it's inhumane? Read this article:
