I was right there with you until the last sentence. Why use breeders when there are so many animals in need of a loving home already?
if you sterilize 100% of all pets, where else are you supposed to get them? I'm talking long term in the context of the article. of course you can go the adoption route too. I'm just talking about how they would reproduce.
Valid- I am not meaning to imply 100% should be sterilized like in the article, because there would of course eventually be none left. But breeders are not exactly a bulwark holding off depopulation of our pets, and more often than not contribute to their overpopulation. We couldn't and shouldn't use the exact same plan as the article because our conditions are vastly different, but that doesn't mean that we should only get our pets from breeders either. Of course, people freely breeding animals like in your example of barn cats is also wildly irresponsible. This is not a black and white issue, a solution will require elements from both lines of thought.
....... Because as time flows, animals pass away from age, and we dont want our companion species to go extinct?
