I have read the statistics both in news print as well as received information from various rescue groups. Also look at the stats for pet overpopulation. Millions die in the shelters each year with one of the sources being because some humans insist on buying purebred cats. Here is one site that states this. http://www.rogersrescues.com/pages/overpopulation.htm I realize reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, but that article refers to breeding for profit, meaning commercial breeders (such as kitten and puppy mills). Not that the writer offers any proof of even that statement, but the article doesn't say what you think it does. |

(...) breeder to get one. You may love cats but having one in the shelter killed just so you can get a purebred is pretty sad. True, so true. After all, this is the sequence one always goes through when obtaining a purebred cat: 1. Get purebred cat from breeder. 2. Take cat home. 3. Go to shelter. 4. Obtain rescue cat. 5. Shoot rescue cat. In this way, obtaining a pedigree cat *necessarily* leads to the death of a shelter cat. I think we can all agree on this. Steve. |
