Not only that, it’s just cruel to the cats they use for breeding. I ended up with a purebred snowshoe that was a rescue from breeders and she was so scared of people and withdrawn when I first got her, and it took such a long time for her to start opening up and learning she’s safe. She ended up being the most affectionate and social cat that I have ever met. After seeing how traumatized and neglected that wonderful little lady was I can’t help but feel every animal breeder should be strung up by their heels and flogged.
