Recently, Xiaoyou in Hangzhou was deceived by cat dealers. Xiao You's family originally had a cat and planned to buy another Maine as companionship, but after he looked at the physical store, he found that a purebred Maine cost about 20,000 or 30,000, which he felt was too expensive. After that, he contacted a seller on the Internet for only 13,000 yuan, and after watching the video, he decided to buy the cat. When the goods were delivered, the boss sent him a new video, but he found that the color of the cat's feet was different compared to the previous video, and questioned it, and the other party determined that it was a cat, saying that if not, the cat could be returned. After Xiao You received the cat, he found that the video he watched before was completely different. After that, he took the cat to check and found that the cat sent to him by the seller had calicivirus, ear mites, and the vaccine was not given, nor was it a purebred Maine, but a skewer, but the boss was missing.
Ferrom once wrote in his book: In modern society, people spin like a top, become slaves of capital when they go to work, and numb themselves in entertainment after work, in contrast, people's spiritual life is squeezed to the point that there is no space at all. The existence of cats and dogs, for some white-collar workers who go to work, fills the gap in spiritual life.
Interacting with people is very exhausting, accidentally because of a small problem to make unpleasant, but interaction with pets, it seems that there are no problems, cats and cats have a soft and cute appearance, simple and clean eyes, they are willing to accept the love of the owner, will also return their love to the owner, can just calm the emotional gap of young people. In addition, naturally cute kittens and puppies also have some incredible-sounding "social attributes", they can attract others to watch, can allow owners and others to exchange breeding experience, but also a way to help owners expand their social circles, and people can also get satisfaction from pets.
However, buying a pet online can be much riskier than buying it in a physical store. Unlike going to a pet store to choose in person, buying cats online is often confirmed through a few pictures and videos, and there is a large blind spot that buyers cannot see. Some young people don't like to go to physical stores to shop, but the nature between buying a fresh life online and buying a piece of clothing and a bag is obviously completely different.
In 2019, a well-known pet blogger on station B fell into a storm of public opinion because he was suspected of "knowing the backyard to buy the backyard". The so-called "backyard cat", different from the regular professional cattery and family-bred cats, is that the breeder finds a yard in the countryside, buys a few cages, and changes the backyard into a place to breed cats. The living conditions of these cats are very poor, and the merchants only feed them the cheapest food in order to make a profit.
There are also rumors that some cat farms will break ordinary cats, and then mix meat into food to feed food breeding cats, which makes people feel creepy. And backyard cat breeding will not follow the breeding guidelines, inbreeding, and even genetic disease cat breeding is common, so most of the kittens bred in the backyard, the survival rate is very low, basic vaccines, deworming and other needs, is not met.
But across a screen, online buyers can't see it at all. Many times, the photos posted by merchants are "photo fraud", and when the cat is really in their hands, they find that this is completely different from what they expected. Cat buyers are generally cat lovers, discarding kittens is unbearable, and the cost of treating them is too high, so they often face the dilemma of "cats and cats 1,000 yuan, 6,000 yuan for medical treatment".
In addition, some thieves also target those cats with good quality and high prices, trying to make money by stealing cats. They do not have the relevant qualifications and dare not sell in physical stores, but can only sell through online channels. If you are unfortunate enough to buy this kind of cat, there will be a lot of trouble after being found by the real owner of the cat.
When encountering these situations, buyers can protect their rights by calling the police, suing and other means, but it is time-consuming and emotional, and it is difficult to get satisfactory results. So, instead of regretting it later, it is better to take preventive measures in advance and go to a physical store to buy and reduce the risk. At the same time, after having pets, you must also be responsible for pets, and you cannot wait until the novelty has passed, and then abandon them, which is irresponsible.
