RE: Please don't destroy my cats!
Hello. I do not mean to be difficult. However, the facts are, this was taken to a public forum for all to read. And from what I am reading, it is an extremely serious issue. I did not receive any notecards, nor was there anything in the kittycats group page about these deleted cats. Since this post was not deleted, and others have now seen it, it needs to be addressed publicly.
From what I am reading from the original poster, descendants of cats that were lost due to outages will be destroyed per Callie. Consider the following. People sell these cats, and buy these cats. As everyone knows, cats can be quite pricey. Some spend RL money in purchasing these cats. So I have the following questions...
1-- Why would Callie purposely destroy these cats? This makes no sense. Someone wrote something about compensation. However, how much compensation is KC willing to provide? If someone bought a cat for 5 grand, and it gets destroyed by Callie because it is a descendant of a cat that is lost, what will KC compensate? If I spend 5 grand on a cat, and KC goes and destroys said cat, and gives me 170L for food, that is unacceptable. Please note, the way this question was worded, it sounded as if living, not lost cats are being destroyed.
2-- Quite frankly, why on earth would Callie do this? Can we please have an explanation?
3-- Why would any cat need to be "destroyed". Certainly, the cat can be "remade". Okay, if the data was lost, if someone knows what their cat is/was, and gives those details, that cat should be able to be recreated. Granted, the pedigree may be lost. But at least the person would have the cat in which they have paid for.
4-- Destroying all cats descendant of lost cats is not a small isolated issue. Like she stated, her cat is years old, you are talking many, many cats. And if she sold cats from that line, you are now talking people being effected who bought those cats. Not to mention, those people who bred the cat they bought, and sold those to others.
5-- Am I reading correctly, and is it true, that if a cat is lost due to the server issue, and I have a living, well cat that is not lost that is a child of said lost cat, my here, healthy, living cat will be destroyed? If this is indeed true, then I want to know...
6-- Why? And what rights does the company have to destroy a cat that is living, alive, there right in front of my eyes, eating merrily? I get that it is Callie's company, and she can do what she pleases. However, the poster is correct. If cats are destroyed simply because they are descendants of a cat that was lost, people would be flocking away from KC, as the last thing anyone will want to do is spend money on something that will be destroyed soon after purchase.
Please, a manager needs to address publicly what the original poster was asking. This really is an extremely serious issue. And now that it's out there in the public, we deserve an explanation.
