I'm not the only one who opposes breeding. But to answer your question, if
you intent to support breeding, yes- count on it. I haven't even warmed up
yet.

Not at all. Just be prepared to get scorched as long you support breeding
here.

You took that out of context. I said in essense you shy me off shelters
with your attitude. I will use breeder cast offs only if you are a sample
of shelter attitudes. >> Stay informed about: Tom Cat won't breed with in-season queen!?? |

Is there some reason why you seem to get off on insulting others? I have
not insulted you even once but you've deliberately done so to me several
times in just one evening.
This time you called me sleazy for adopting rescue pets?
I'm asking you again to let this newsgroup be as a nice place that it has
been for the 4 months or so I have been here. We dont need insults. It's
irrelevant if you have been here longer. It's only relevant how you act. >> Stay informed about: Tom Cat won't breed with in-season queen!?? |

I get the math very well. Responsible owners and responsible breeders
are not the ones filling shelters . Animal welfare should be about
education and keeping pets in homes and not IRRESPONSIBLY breeding them.
The more we just keep taking and thinking that everyone should not breed
and adopt "until there are none", the longer it will take for there to
be "none".

But your "logic" is illogical. If someone wants a well bred and well
socialized animal of a specific breed, they are NOT necessarily (in
fact, rarely) going to go to a shelter and adopt cat or dog "x".

I've been spending many years in "kill" shelters TYVM. What do I see?
The castoff of the IRRESPONSIBLE. Education, education, education,
low-cost S/N, TNR, training, counseling. These are things that stop
filling shelters, not banning RESPONSIBLE breeding.

Amazing that SOMEONE gets it!
I *do* want shelter or rescue animals. Sometimes. I want a well bred
puppy sometimes too. I have both. And I've done a helluva lot of work
for shelter and rescue animals as well. One does not need to adopt them
all to help them. There are a lot of collectors out there with savior
complexes though.

OK, after writing the above, you can still be a proponent of breeding??!
It's OK for breeders to produce all these "defected cats" who are only
expected to live 5 years???! Your own words condemn you and argue against
you, you're just too dense to see it! >> Stay informed about: Tom Cat won't breed with in-season queen!?? |

It just floors me when pro-breeder fruitcakes use the argument "if they
couldn't get a pedigree they wouldn't adopt a shelter cat". You know what?
HOORAYYYYYYYY! If a person is too much of a snob to adopt a cat just for
the sake of loving cats then that person *SHOULDN'T* have a cat, they should
buy a Mercedes to show the world how big their dick is. >> Stay informed about: Tom Cat won't breed with in-season queen!?? |

Anyone who could ever even just stand in a room at a single shelter
and see all the beautiful cats that need homes--just one shelter, with
a tiny fraction of the animals who suffer and die due to overpopulation--
and support breeders or breeding under any circumstances is not
someone I want to know. >> Stay informed about: Tom Cat won't breed with in-season queen!?? |

Stop whining. You brought this on yourself by insulting me in your first
post to this thread.
I have

Yes, you have.

Its still early.

That's not what I said. I said your guilt trip was sleazy.
Let me refresh your memory:
"It may however shy me off to use a breeder farm next time if folks like you
run shelters." and " I said in essense you shy me off shelters
with your attitude. I will use breeder cast offs only if you are a sample
of shelter attitudes."
Sounds like a sleazy threat or guilt trip to me. So you won't adopt a
shelter cat because you don't like my attitude towards people who support
breeding? I have a better idea: If you don't like my attitude, don't come
to my shelter. How's that?

> I'm asking you again to let this newsgroup be as a nice place
Maybe you should have thought about that before you hit the send button on
your first post. >> Stay informed about: Tom Cat won't breed with in-season queen!?? |
