i was fuming.!!!!!!


we did a bootsale this morning, and this man and his family stood next to us, he had a large printer box. put the box down and pulled out 1/2 dozen kittens hes selling them 60 quid each. i went mad at him, told him he cant do that on a bootsale, was trying to explain to him, if he cant find homes approach the CPL or advertise in a newspaper and him go to the persons home to see what the home was like. i was met with a blank stare, he was polish all he knew was 60 pounds.
there was a few women having a go at him. i went and reported him to the organizer, he was escorted off the site, the man was lucky i was on the verge of calling the police.either that or clocking him one, and the kits where only 6 weeks old, too young to be away from mum. i dread to think what hes going to do with them now.
there was a couple of blacks (my heart melted) and a few tabbies.
i was just so angry.

Re: i was fuming.!!!!!!


What a horrible story! I could cry thinking of those poor wee kittens too young to be away from mum! And given to just anyone who'd pay...boggles the mind! Well done you for taking action; although he'll probably just go somewhere else...
And asking 60 pounds...

The thing is, it wouldn't even be tolerated if it was puppies but people still feel kittens can be bandied about
