    they’re already here because breeders create a demand for them; I wouldn’t kick this cat out of the shelter, but ffs, there need to be consequences for this kind of shit somewhere or we’re going to see more animals suffering for their entire lives because someone thought ‘it looks cute’

      I can hear you with certain breeds if it comes with health concerns. Like the French bulldog. But all pets are cute to their owners. What’s the problem if we find them cute and they suit what we consider cute? Like we feed them and take care of them. It’s far worse to treat em like crap. It’s a mutual benefit. They have a secure life with us.

        The sphynx comtes with health concerns as well. And discrimination from other cats which is less the breeder’s fault but can’t be fun.
