As a person with 3 cats, I get what you’re saying. You’re getting down voted, but we all know cats can devistate local wild life populations.

Rescuing them and making them indoor cats is the responsible thing to do, but I don’t think any vegans would argue with that.

I think its after those establishing facts that the discussion is taking place.

I personally am not a fan of any breeding programs when there are so many cats and dogs available to rescue, but that’s just me.

True, ethical adoption is an option.

But then I always ran into the issue with how to feed the cute little monsters, which is what this drama is about.

Honestly, it’s easier to not have a cat. Plus I’m allergic, so…

  Yeah, the pandemic just gave us the best example why many people shouldnt get pets that require a lot of effort and time.
  
  At the start of the pandemic many people got cats / dogs ( of course bought them not adopted them ;( ) because they were home and had time during lockdown. But after it was over they didnt had any time and gave it up for adoption.
  
  Everyone needs to check if they have not just now time but in the future too.

    Hey now. I periodically volunteer at the local SPCA and they got absolutely cleaned out when COVID hit. 2020 was the best year for rescue animals, possibly in all of human history.

    But the worst too. As saaid many got new pets and ditched them after the lockdown. It could be some of them are from some shelters but many got ditched afterwards too
