Genuine question, and I know in the US and many other pet owning nations we do things quite differently including encouraging spaying and neutering, but… she looks in good shape. Cats are quite apt at sourcing food. Is forced sterilization and relocation a positive quality of life development for her in her current environment? Is she under threat of imminent euthanasia or starvation?
Maybe it’s because in Costa Rica there are a lot of stray dogs so she could be in danger on the streets?
Like I said, my question is genuine and I apologize if I soured the good #nostr Para vida vibes. But, the question is an existential one: How do we determine whether our worldview represents harm or help to those we bring it to?
I once found a turtle in the middle of a small bridge road. I stopped in traffic and picked it up knowing I was going to a place with a creek where many turtles lived. When I arrived I released the turtle to its new home and congratulated myself. Later though, it occurred to me that the turtle may never see its companions or young ever again. Perhaps it had laid eggs nearby. Perhaps it was adapted to a diet found only in its microenvironment. Still haunts me. I think I ruined that turtle’s life (or saved it). 🤷♂️
I am from Costa Rica, I am here atm working with a rescue center helping them with expenses for the animals, clean, and find forever homes. She will specifically going to be with a loving family. I am not some first world person with Jesus complex that came to Latin America to save us from our own ignorance. I’ve been doing this my whole life.
Aww what a cutie 🥰
