I agree with you all. I can't believe how people are breeding cats and dogs to have all kinds of problems just to make them look a certain way! I can't figure out who is worse: the breeders or the people who support the breeders by buying purebred cats and dogs. I can believe the statistic that 25% of homeless cats are purebred -- I don't think these people who give them up were properly educated in what they would be getting into. Purebred cats and dogs can have all kinds of problems, especially as they age and people don't always recognize that. It also isn't always realized that purebreds can tend to be hyper and have weird personality/behavioral traits. I'm not saying that purebreds are awful and don't deserve to be loved, but I whole-heartedly agree with the comment about how we should stop breeding and take care of the cats and dogs that are already here. My husband and I make it a point to only obtain cats from the local Humane Society. And we also feel the need to adopt the older cats that are there. We have two beautiful cats as a result: Cindy, the white and orange tabby who just is so loving and adoring of us; and Sibyl, a beautiful, all silvery grey cat who has such personality and spirit. All animals deserve to be loved!
