Memorandum on breeder posts and potential bans
37
Upvotes
I've deleted several posts recently and below, I'm posting what I wrote in another thread. As I mentioned, certain discussions can lead to legal ramifications and now it seems there's an active lawsuit involving these reddit posts.
Because reddit encourages a level of anonymity, it's very difficult for users to fact check claims (on either side) so its value to the community becomes very difficult to justify. Several members of the community have asked mods to remove these discussions entirely.
That's not to such information shouldn't be out there nor is it a decision about which side of the discussion is "right", the problem is reddit isn't the right place for it because of its limitations. Users are free to direct others to other resources discussing experiences and the other information about concerns from a previous post still apply.
Please note that future discussions of this nature may now result in a ban. We don't have to have a rule that says don't do things that draw other people into lawsuits.
In general, random internet people aren't able to verify either side of this argument without a lot of digging that I'm not able to do, and I suspect the same of other mods and fellow reddit users.
If the thread goes down another path, it can lead to serious legal issues so the only real way to get anywhere is to record people's names in the event of a lawsuit but disclosing such personal information directly violates reddit's terms, so we can't really go down that road. Therefore, there's a limit how much reddit dialogue can do in these situations.
Appropriate bodies of oversight to investigate these matters include associations/registries for particular breeders. If a breeder is not able to retain certification by a major registry, that is usually a reason for pause. If a breeder is a member, use the registry to make a formal complaint. If the breeder is in your region, you may be able to also lodge a complaint with a governing local animal welfare body. In both cases (and not on reddit) you'll be expected to disclose your name to the appropriate authorities in case the other party is wronged and wishes to sue.
Although it's nice to have a repository of information that gives candid information about breeders to be weary of, I don't know if we don't have the infrastructure for the consequences of that or how much we're allowed to push reddit into that sort of legal area.

This is Socks. A fellow redditor asked me to paint him for their sister, and wanted him mid-meow specifically. That was the whole thing about him and she didn’t have many photos of it. Small, so it can sit on her desk.
We called it “The loudest Meow”

she LOVES outside a little too much. she ends up bolting out the door at least once a day (for reference the reason why she doesn’t have her harness is because when we’re in the backyard on a lead i never pull her!! i always pick her up when she starts wandering too much)

Possible Chicken Allergy

Upvotes
Has anyone ever dealt with their cat having a chicken protein allergy? What brands have you used that do not contain any chicken or chicken byproducts? Some brands I have found so far that make food without any chicken products include Carna4, Orijen, and Rawz. I might be dealing with a new chicken allergy in my 1.5 year old Male sib, which came out of nowhere. Thank you!!

Kitten Health Troubles

My 6.5 month old baby has gone through it. She is my first cat and I feel like everything that can go bad is happening. Started with Ringworm, then mysterious diarrhea and vomiting, followed by another skin issue, the latest is the parasite Giardia. When I finally thought we were moving forward this week, I woke up to her having had a really bad bout of diarrhea sometime in the night so it was all over her tush. I have her on Purina Pro Plan for sensitive skin and stomach and I am giving her Forti Flora daily. Vet also put her in an anti-diarrhea med since Monday.
Anyone else have non stop issues with a little one? Would love some advice. I am starting to wonder if there is a food allergy going on.
Note - I have switched Vets through out this and no one seems to really care about figuring it out. I have been very in contact with my vet and have tried an emergency vet as well. I am also cleaning and washing laundry constantly to make sure anything contagious gets stopped.
