Overbreeding health risk on male cats?
Posted: Fri Apr 15, 2016 2:32 pm
hi,
so I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any health risks on stud cats that are owned by irresponsible breeders. All the information I found online talk about the health risks on 'females' but I'm sure that males suffer to.
The reason I'm asking is because I know one such "irresponsible breeder" and she keeps defending her practice and insisting that so long as cats, males and females, are fed well, and pumped full of vitamins, and not breeding strays, there is nothing to fear, not even inbreeding which she believes is "natural".
Unfortunately the country I live in doesn't care much for animal cruelty so there is no reporting that breeder to authorities, but I need solid evidence to at least educate the other members in our circle.
