reproducing / the ability to reproduce is part of definition that defines life, and when that has been taken off from some animals, they cease to be alive or a living thing and become your toy, with life in it.
LIFE IS NOT A TOY.
might as well put it to sleep.
When you want a cat, do you go spend money on it from the humane society, or do you just put a can of wet food in a live trap?
dont have to.
where i live feral cats and dogs are all over, rampant and free. and when you are really lucky, THEY adopts you.
they just come and refuse to leave. once theres a bitch who came to our house in advanced state of pregnancy, dumped her liter on us and refused to take care of her pups. unlike a good mother that stays by their pups most of their time, she'd be gone for entire day, sometimes a few days right after birthing her pups. we're the ones that have to look after her pups while shes out enjoying herself.
the funny thing is that she thought she somehow had a right and entitled to live in our house. most times, after having all the fun to be had or when its going to rain or when its raining, which is usually long past midnite/ very early in the morning, she'd keep barking and howling till we open the gates to let her in.
cats too, but they're mostly short term stayers. they came to hunt, crash for a few days and leave.
