Here's the thing, hon. While I love my pets, they are still just animals, nowhere near the value of human beings. Our local shelters of animal-rights nutsos charge $100 for what they call a kitten, which must be a minimum of 13 weeks old. That's not a kitten to me. Then they want you sign forms and blah blah. This is why the shelters are full, because of their idiotic preachy self-righteous policies. And besides that, no leftwinger is going to tell me what I have to do.
I wanted a kitten. I went to a private individual running an add on Craigslist, and I got my kitten, which could have been for free, but I gave the girl a little money. She raised five kittens, gave them food and attention, advertised them and charged nothing. All out of the goodness of her heart. It's preachy animal-rights nutsos who give shelters a bad name.
