If there were not such an abundance of animals being PTS today, the government would not have to get involved.
I am also not happy with the fact that the government can now tell us we have to use seatbelts, can't smoke in a car with a child, must neuter and spay cats. But somebody must step in, state or federal.
If more people were responsible then the government would not step in...(I hope) Until there is no reason for ASPCA or animal control...I will happily take their help. |
I so agree with you.Sometimes they have to step in.
SOME farmers may run ads for cats.
BUT most dont ....
We do get cats sometimes. have them UTD on shots and care for them .
Then theres those who just drop off their cats and kittens ,which we find squished on the road,lots of times.One time a kitten still standing in the road by his littermates we saved...
Or as I stated in another post frozen kittens etc.
We dont know if these animals are UTD on their shots...but you can bet a caring owner who cared enough to do that wouldnt just drop them off.
So chances are they can and will spread disease thru our animals in the barn.
I know several that have been here for over 20 years, and they have told us we shoot them on site. I was shocked~!
They said well just wait till they make all your animals sick and you lose a lot of them. You'd shoot them too.
Also cats will NOT go up against a big rat.They will eat mice , rabbits and other things...but i've seen cats run from barn rats!
I wish I knew who had dropped off all the cats and kittens I've seen hurt, dead or frozen.
Shame on them....Did they really think they were doing a good thing by dropping them off at a farm?
