Title: BSB??
Post by: candyshandy on March 28, 2008, 20:20:40 PM: Just seen an ad on a well 'loved' site. A woman advertising kittens and a 2yr old persian who she's rehoming because she's got too many cats. Now you may think she's a persian breeder - nope she's a multi breeder. "We sell many breeds and colours". She's selling Russian blues for £350 and tabbys for £200. The persian is also "going for £175"! :censored:

Edited - she's unspayed :(

The poor cat ends up with someone taking it just to use as a money making machine and not cared for or loved !
I am thinking of taking in another needy persian -would have to be female though as Winston wouldn''t like another Male in the house ! (he gets on ok with Smartie -but Smartie was here first !0
Mine are all neuted/spayed , all rescues and VERY spoilt !!!

This is truly irresponsible what these people do. It makes us all angry.

Can I just remind everyone to not place ads from these sites on here (wording specific) and phone number so that we don't encourage the sale of these poor creatures. I've asked peeps to edit their posts to help us out with that.

:thanks:

She and her partner are not very nice, leave rubbish in the garden for weeks, that kind of thing, and people come and go with cat carriers. She appears to have varying numbers of Burmese kittens who occasionally sit in her window. My other next door neighbour knows a little more about her as she knows the landlord - she often says to me that did I know this woman has 13 kittens now, or 4, or 7, or whatever. I may be wrong of course, she may be legit, but she just doesn't strike me as an honest or caring sort of lady. Nothing I can do to prove it, is there?

Post by: tigerbaby on March 29, 2008, 15:48:49 PM: Like you, I would suspect she is a bsb. There are just so many out there.

I was in a nightclub the other week (not clubbing but promoting), mingling around with people and for some reason the subject 'Dogs' came up (I love dogs). This slimey guy turned around and said 'you want a dog? I can get you one, what kind do you want?'. I would hate to be judgemental, but just one look at him and I KNEW he was a BSB, or at least have friends who were - I looked at him and said ''A Pug?''. He was like ''a what??'. A pug, I said. He said Oh I don't have any pugs (''I don't have any pugs''!!!) - I've got Rottweilers, Staffs, Pitbulls, Alsations - you can have one, for free.

I just said no thank you and walked off, it was upsetting to hear.

Well if theres folk making money/a living out of breeding animals they should be paying tax like everyone else sooo a weee word with the tax folk would be in order.
