But arguing with you or a lot of other people about this is like pissing in the wind. I'll take care of the animals, just like I've always done.

BUT, Ms. Cattitude, how can you say it's like pissing in the wind when I got my sweet baby because of some irresponsible pet owner???

I'm freakin' ALLERGIC to the bia, yet here she stays with my nose nestled into her kitten fur. I take a pill every single day just so I can cuddle her. So how can you say that it's pissing in the wind??

I wasn't talking to you, I was responding to BCP because he doesn't seem to think there's a problem. If you have spent time at a shelter for even a few weeks, you can see the problem of over population.

Never said there wasnt a problem, as a matter of fact, my dog, (akc Registered) is not show quality because I had him fixed, both my cats are fixed, every animal that comes into the house is fixed.

what I said is that ALL animals do not have to be fixed, and the general attitude from many is that if you dont fix your animal, you are a serious problem.
I maintain that it is just as ignorant say that someone that breeds their animal is ignorant, as it is for the person that just lets the animal breed uncontrolled because they are too lazy to take it to the vet.

without breeding, some species will become non existent.

You got her because of me. Because I answered an ad from somebody that found them near death near her yard (next to an Amish farm). I stayed up with them all night, fed them every two hours, wiped their tiny little butts, gave them their medicine and cleaned their noses and eyes, worried that I would lose them...and actually did lose one. I took them to my vet, spent my money, my time and my love. One more day and those little babies would have been dead. Natural selection, if you will.

Same deal with Pete's beloved Timmy. A lady posted on her asking for help..I got to her within a few hours but two the four kittens were already dead.

When you spend so much time and effort with the little fellas and you see them make strides, even if its eating a half an ounce of formula, you can't help but fall in love with them.

I've been involved with rescuing animals since I brought home Charlie, the 100 pound German Shepherd when I was 12. I was involved with Montgomery County Humane Society when I lived in Seabrook. I heard every excuse for getting rid of family pets, I saw animals abused by the very people who were supposed to love and care for them.

I continue to do what I can because there is a need...a huge need. If you don't think so, just look up a rescue...any rescue..any shelter. You figure that's for just a small geographical area..then you start to think how many animals that would be for the state..and so on.

I like to think I'm realistic and know that I cannot save them all. I think it's better to humanely euthanize animals that have no hope to be or would be difficult to adopt which would make room for more animals to be placed and save funds.

It's my passion, I'm good at and I don't appreciate being called an animal nutty just because I care more about stray animals than I do stray humans.

[cattitude]

Okay, so Otter says I sound like a nut.

I don't want to sound like a nut and I'm not attacking you Vrai.

 

[Sharon]

I answered an ad from somebody

Now that we've come full circle - the purpose of this thread was to make the ad placer seem like some kind of pet retard...


by a busybody animal nuttie who shot off her psychotic mouth vomit here on the forums.

I hope Geek likes eating crow.

You do sound like a nut but we love you anyway.

 

[Pete]

OK damn it. I am all confused. Am I suppose to get Timmy's nuts put back on or what?

 

[vraiblonde]

I'm not attacking you Vrai.

I know that but I love my girl, and if some irresponsible pet person had spayed Kiki's mother, I wouldn't have her right now.

I'm sorry but I can't get upset over "unwanted pets" because one of those became my little girlkin.

 

[vraiblonde]

Claudia's been a great cat and she was abandoned. literally. The daycare babe found her scrounging around and took her in. We had just lost Shooter, so she offered her up and here she is, 13 years later.

:shrug:

I kind of have to agree. If some douche wouldn't have ditched my Butterball because he had bad teeth and heartworm, I'd not have him, and my pound kitty is freakin awesome! He's a mouse hunter so I'll never have to buy another mousetrap ever again, AND he gives me lovies like no other.

Giving a home to an animal is a great thing. Taking said animal and neutering/spaying is just common sense. I would like people to spay and neuter their house animals that they love.
"Approximately 8-12 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year and approximately 5-9 million are euthanized (60% of dogs and 70% of cats)." <-- Thats what pops up if you google "shelter facts"


Common sense, if you have too many animals try to make less. The animals can't operate on themselves :shrug:

Shut up. You're outvoted, ya effing busybody.

 

[Cowgirl]

Shut up. You're outvoted, ya effing busybody.

I agree with her. I have my animals altered for both population control and health benefits. Vrai, it's unrealistic to prevent 100% of unwanted pets, but it is realistic to educate people so that there are fewer animals in shelters.

I'm glad you have Kiki and Claudia, but just imagine the number of Kikis and Claudias that have been put down because shelters are overpopulated.

Seriously, what do people have against altering their pets? I don't think I've heard a reason that made sense to me. :shrug:

 

[vraiblonde]

I agree with her.

Of course you do.

 

[Geek]

Of course you do.

Your argument here is making no sense.

Let's think about it this way... You and and a friend are having dinner. You are going to have hot dogs. You make 400 hot dogs. You eat one and your friend eats one. You are rationalizing the 398 you threw away because you enjoyed the hot dog you ate. Instead of just making what you needed, you went to BJ's and bought case after case of hot dogs, for just you and a friend.



Now imagine those 398 hot dogs were kittens with claudia's sweet face and personality you love so much, but they are extra, so we have to "throw them out" .


Your next argument will be, of course "All kittens get adopted". And to this I will say, they most certainly don't.

BJ's has good hot dogs? I didn't know that. What brand?

Are you saying she spits when she talks

Go have lunch at Vrai's

i just have 1 question for all you ppl that insist on fixing your pets...
do you think you would have the pet "you own now" if their parents were fixed?
