I just read something that I am just crying over, its mainly in mediterranean countries and instead of neutering the female cats, they SLICE off the top of their nipples so they can feed the kittens :( :( so all the kittens they produce die, the mum comes into call again, mates, goes through pregnancy and the kittens die :( :(

WHY dont they just neuter?? Why would they rather a cat going through birth 5 times a year and kittens dying for no reason??

Seriously, if this is the world, Im not sure I want to be part of it :nonod:

Thats more humane then some other countrys *none named* where they breed nice fluffy cats for coats and bash their heads against the floor and skin them alive.

I have seen videos of it on youtube.

There are some spots in hell reserved especially for those types of people.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

OMG That is sick and totally nasty!!

But then this country isnt perfect the amount of pregnant cats and young kittens that are shoved out the door because their "LOVING OWNERS" cant handle them is hugh!

Im just one of many that takes these poor kitties in.

That's horrifying. The people that do the job are probally not properly qualfyed either. It would great if there something we could do to help the poor things but sadly there isn't. If there was I would be among the first to offer help.:eek:

OMG that is horrific!
A daft thing to say maybe but Iseriously hope we are not talking of so called civilized counties that are members of the EU -but I suspect we are!
Shame nop ressure can be put on these countries through the EU channels!

Aside from being horrible, that sounds like a really complicated and bizarre solution to the problem.

Why allow a female to continue breeding countless litters just for them to die? If neutering is too expensive, then surely euthanasia is the more effective, efficient and financially viable option? :confused:

Do you know which counties the article said this happens in? :(

I think females in general get such a raw deal with mutilation, be it human or animal.

I remember I actually passed out when I found out the details of female circumcision.

There are better ways to deal with the problems of overpopulation of cats, and culling is actually more humane than this slow starvation of kittens.

I now cant find the piece, will re-look again later, it must be in one of these mags!!

I hope that it isnt true I was just like 'oh my god' as the article was saying about how the nipples need to be for kittens to feed, yet if you slice them the kittens cant feed, maybe it was a hand rearing article online (ive not had alot of sleep lately!) ill look!!

I googled it and nothing came up so hopefully it isn't true.
