Title: Free ads post I've reported
Post by: JackSpratt on March 02, 2009, 11:45:35 AM: "We are a loving home wishing to start breeding cats, we now have the knowledge, time, space and love to give..... to two special cats (stress both sexes must be 6mths or over).

No time waster(s) pls as we DO want to be taking this seriously."

:-: :-: Have emailed the site in question explaining how detrimental this would be to the kittens in question. Hopefully they'll do the right thing and remove the advert.

Post by: JackSpratt on March 02, 2009, 11:56:07 AM: My thoughts entirely. What the heck are they thinking? On freecycle the other day there was someone giving away baby rabbits. When I emailed to ask if they'd found homes they sent me a message back saying they were a "breader" and had 20 needing homes because noone had the money to buy them - surely a big clue to stop breeding them then?! :-:

I would class myself as an experienced cat owner (ok slave) and all my cats are neutered/spayed just before 6 months!!!

.... Dont they realise what a can of worms this is opening! :Crazy:

This crazy world does make me sad.... :(

I like your optimism, but doubt it. I'll give it a try though.

Post by: Beth on March 03, 2009, 17:59:11 PM: I'm forever offering advice to freeads posters :shy: a couple of times i've had really lovely replies when people genuinely hadn't heard of a certain rescue or considered their options on things. One person was advertising an unspayed pedigree princess, and i emailed to advise her to either take her dog to a rescue or at least get her spayed and i got a right mouthful from her :P Still hasn't put me off replying to these sorts of ads though. :naughty: :evillaugh:

Sadly i think the people who posted that ad won't be the sort to take good advice. :scared:
