A while ago, I posted a message on WeChat headline , probably saying:
In my small county, it is very expensive to sterilize cats. It starts with a male cat for 500 yuan, and a female cat starts with a female cat for 1,000 yuan. If it is too much, it may cost 1,500 yuan. It is precisely because it is expensive that many people refuse to sterilize cats. Because the income of the lower class is too low, they may only cost one or two thousand yuan a month. The original intention of posting this passage is to say two points: First, sterilizing cats is too expensive, and I personally feel that this price is unreasonable; second, the income of the lower class is low and it is not easy to live. After the passage of
was posted, the number of views was 70,000 to 80,000 and the number of comments exceeded 600. In these comment sections, everyone has different meanings. I roughly summarized it, and there are mainly the following points.
First point: sterilization of cats is indeed very expensive.
Many people have also said that they sterilize cats locally, and most of them have the same price. Some may be even higher, which is ridiculously high. It costs thousands of dollars to sterilize cats. Some people even sterilized the cat, causing the cat to die. The counterexample of
is that someone sterilizes a cat for only one or two hundred yuan.
Of course, this is not the lowest price. Some people go to livestock stations and other places to sterilize cats, which only costs a few dozen yuan; some people simply ask a veterinarian to sterilize cats, which doesn’t cost money. As for some people who say that they sterilize their cats, although it is free, I checked some of them and it was a bit cruel, so I won’t say it.
Some people even use humans as an example, saying that human sterilization ( ligation , etc.) is not that expensive. It's really outrageous for a cat to be sterilized for such a small thing hundreds or thousands.
Of course, there are also low (showy) and low (showy) and not expensive, and post your own numbers, such as sterilizing cats, which cost 3,000 yuan, which is worth it, and even sterilizing cats, which is good enough.
Second point: If you have low income, don’t keep cats.
The county town where my family is located is not a wealthy place. Many people have not that high income, and may only cost more than 1,000 yuan a month, and they even have no income at all. In this regard, many people say that if you have low income, don’t keep cats; or, if you can’t even raise them yourself, why raise cats?
Of course, some people say that although the income in the county is low, it cannot be so low. It can only cost three to five thousand to five thousand to find a job. Some people said it well, and they stood at the moral commanding heights: either don’t raise it or raise it well. One or two thousand yuan is not much, and it can save a life if it is taken out. Why can’t you bear it?
also has different voices. It is believed that raising cats does not cost so much. Just eat leftovers. When you are hungry, it will catch mice and eat them. This is how cats in rural areas.
The third point: The attitude towards cats is different.
Some people believe that if you raise a cat, you have to keep it well, treat it as a child. You need to buy cat food, feed it canned food, eat fish oil, and sterilize it when you become an adult. In order to avoid loneliness, you have to keep two cats so that they can have a companion. In order to avoid the cat being lost, you should be locked at home and at most you should take it out for a walk occasionally.
Some people also believe that there is no need to treat cats as their ancestors. They eat whatever they eat, there is no need to buy canned cat food, nor do they need to be sterilized. The cat should be given freedom, not locked in the house, let alone locked in a cage.
and then come interestingly, you will find that for cats, no matter what you do, no matter how well you do, no matter how well you do (from your personal point of view), there will be someone who will criticize you.
or not, they will be sprayed.
Some people say that cats must be sterilized. Otherwise, male cats are prone to urinary tract infection , female cats are prone to reproductive diseases such as uterine fibroids and uterine pus storage. If the cat is sterilized, the cat will not get sick, and life will be more comfortable, will not make noise, and will live longer.
Some people also say that cats cannot be sterilized. First of all, they are also life, and have the right to reproduction and reproduction. We have not deprived our cats of their freedom and all their strength to give birth. Think from the perspective of others, are you willing to sterilize you? Secondly, sterilization is prone to problems, and some cats die because of sterilization.
Look, it makes sense no matter how you say it, but you will be criticized in this way.The first two paragraphs can actually be used to spray each other.
You sterilize a cat, and others criticize you for depriving the cat of reproductive rights ; you say that cats have a long lifespan, but others will use "eunuchs have a long lifespan, so why is no one the eunuchs" to criticize you.
Then I can't sterilize the cat, right? No, you will still be sprayed because the cat will not be sterilized and will not find a partner for it. It will be very painful. As mentioned earlier, it will be easy to get sick.
Then I won’t sterilize the cat, and I’ll find a partner for the cat, right? Not OK, I will still be criticized. Because if it is in the community, the "communication" between two cats before being a couple will be very noisy and sound sharp and harsh, which will inevitably disturb the public. If someone is going to criticize you, what if it is doing it outside? Not OK, cats are easily lost!
So you see, no matter whether you sterilize the cat or not, no matter how you do it, someone will criticize you.
This is a very obvious example, and there are many such examples.
Whether you lock your cat at home or not, you will be sprayed. If you lock the cat at home, some people criticize you for not giving the cat freedom, so they should be released. The cat is just your pet, not your slave. If you put the cat outside, some people say you are not responsible. If the cat loses it, it will die.
Whether you give cat food or not, you will be sprayed. If you give cat food, if it is bad cat food, it will be bad for the cat and it is prone to accidents. If it is good cat food, some people will say it is too expensive, so it will not be that this thing is IQ tax. It is better to buy things for parents to be filial to them than to have this money. Cats just need to feed leftovers.
You see, no matter whether the cat is eaten well or not, people will spray it. There are even more fun things in
. I said before that my sister picked up two stray cats, but later she gave them to my house because she moved. I had too many cats, so I gave them to my uncle's house later. Some people say, either raise it well or don’t raise it, just be honest. Some people who speak rudely have already started to scold, believing that this is irresponsible for life.
If you are a little bad for cats, such as feeding leftovers, ordinary cat food, not spaying (Isn’t this very normal?), sending them to others, or otherwise, it will attract more abuse.
summary: no matter what you do to the cat, no matter how you do it, no matter whether you do it well or not, someone will criticize you.
is like a father and son riding a donkey, or a couple riding a donkey. Whether it is riding a donkey or not, whether one person or two people will be scolded by some people. No matter what you do, it won't satisfy everyone.
But in my opinion, as long as you torture or destroy cats on purpose or maliciously, you can treat cats with the strength you allow.
Some cats have been discarded since childhood and if I don’t feed it or take it home, it can die. Even if I later handed them over to people who love cats, it would be better than not saving them when I saw death, right? It’s better than those who only know how to point fingers online but never take action, right?
feeding cats with leftovers is also normal in rural areas. For thousands of years, ordinary people have raised cats like this. This method, especially for pastoral cats, is very good. On the contrary, I also think it would be better to keep the cat in a cage (house) and feed the cat food! Because I have seen many cats who would rather starve to death than come out of the cage and slept outside, rather than "enjoy happiness" in the cage.
As for whether to sterilize, I believe that for cat lovers, it is all kindness. Some people may think that cats need to have children, so they cannot be sterilized; some people may think that cats need to be healthy and quiet, so they must be sterilized. I can understand it, although I don't support sterilizing cats.
If you have to ask a cat, I believe all cats will say, "I would rather get sick and have a short life than want to be sterilized. Do not do to others what you do not want to be sterilized. Why do you ask me to be sterilized? To put it bluntly, isn't it just that we are afraid that we will urinate or yell in heat, and we will quarrel with ghosts?"
ultimately, they are all serving people, putting human feelings first, so these cats have to make sacrifices to satisfy human desires.
In general, I think that as long as it is not the kind of intentionally harming cats or deliberately destroying cats, then all the practices are correct and I can understand. If you don’t have money, you eat worse. If you have the conditions, you will let the cat go out for freedom. If you feel the cat is in pain, you will sterilize it. If you feel it is not good, you will let it go.
Not to mention the right cat, it is the same for people, yourself, and children.
Many parents have this feeling: I also want to accompany my son every day, take him out to play, and give him the best food, clothes, etc., but my ability is not up to me and my family conditions do not allow it, so the children will suffer some grievances.
So, since everyone is difficult to adjust, then "just do good things and don't ask about the future." As Liu Bei said back then, "Don't do evil because it's small, and don't do good because it's small."
As for the so-called "don't keep cats if you don't have money", it seems to me that it is not right.
What does it mean to "Don't keep a cat if you don't have money or ability"? Who says that raising cats requires money? If so, should all cats in rural areas be culled? Who can guarantee that all the cats raised by rich people are good? If this theory is followed, the poor are not worthy of getting married and having children, right? Besides, what is the standard for "rich" or "capable"? Is the annual income of one million? Or the boss level?
You think so yourself and think so, it is absolutely OK, but don’t impose it on everyone.
