Re: Hypoallergenic Pet (genetically altered)
Hell no I wouldn't buy one. There are MILLIONS of cats being euthanized in this country because there aren't enough homes. There's no way I would ever pay that kind of money for a cat when I can go to the SPCA and rescue one who would otherwise die. I am not about to support the breeding of any cat or dog as long as there are so many being born just to end up in a county shelter, their lives being ended because no one had room in their hearts or homes for them.
I honestly don't know what I think about someone who does love animals but is allergic and desperately wants one. I'm not in that position. I would hope that the mere cost alone would prevent someone from throwing the cat away like people tend to do in this world, but who knows? There are hundreds, if not more, pure breed rescues for dogs because someone will buy a $1000 AKC registered whatever and then when he's fully grown and digging holes in the yard, they decide he's just not worth it and they take him to the pound.
Pet overpopulation is one area I am very passionate about.
