First of all, what here indicates this person is letting her cats breed out
of control?  Maybe this was a planned litter?  Maybe her Queen's first?

The fact that she is giving her kittens away for free as opposed to selling
them at a price is irrelevant, and to assume that this means she is
irresponsible is plain illogical. Maybe she just isn't out for a quick buck,
at the expense of her kittens.

If everyone got their pets neutered/spayed, there would be little chance of
getting any pets at a young age (except from the Breeders, of course, who
make their entire living off of animal slavery). THAT is logical. Just where
would the pets come from? The wild?

Fact is, if we want to talk irresponsible, ALL pet owners are irresponsible,
by keeping an innocent animal hostage against nature's intentions.  Shame on
us all!  What arrogance!  We put ourselves in this fix millenia ago when we
Humans decided to enslave animals to work for us, solely because we thought
ourselves superior to them. Now whenever the realities of this situation
present themselves, we become squimish, hypocritical and self righteous.

Want to help the SPCA? Easy. Lets ALL just stop owning (enslaving) pets
entirely. Soon, their reason for existence will be gone. But, as we all
know, that isn't about to happen. Just isn't realistic.

 After all, we just can't live without our pets, can we?

P.S.  Just to set the record straight, I have two cats of my own. A male and
a female, both "fixed".  So you see, I am just as much at fault here as the
rest of us.
