Thread Name: BS: Ethics
Subject: RE: BS: Ethics
OK, I had an ethical question, and this seems the best place to pose it rather than starting another thread: What are the ethics of cat adoption of found animals? A local stray (no collar, no visible attachment to any particular place) has started hanging around our house, and the twins have started feeding her, and she is very sweet and apparently fairly old, very well-behaved, very friendly... do I *have* to put out flyers saying Found lost cat? Or can I just keep her...? (Of course I will be taking her to the vet and all but what about the basic ethical question of do I have to publicize her being found, given that she had no collar?) Thanks!
