Yes, it's a nice thing to do and should be encouraged of course, but some people look to breeders for something specific in an animal. There are some things in shelters you can't find whilst if you go to a breeder, you can find the animal you want. I honestly don't care if she wants to get an expensive cat - she might just like the breed, and if she has the money, why not? It's obviously a much-loved pet. And who's to say she won't one day get a cat from a rescue centre one day? My dad has purebred Goldens from top breeders, and has had a Bengal x Shorthair cat from another breeder but he then got two rescue cats (a few weeks after their Bengal was confirmed missing).
Just saying, I don't think you should judge her for getting an expensive cat when lots of other people in the world have animals from breeders, as well as animals from shelters. If anything, I'd be annoyed at the fact this "vegan" (who we can hardly call a vegan now anyway) is not using vegan cosmetics, eating vegan food... heck, a strict vegan doesn't even have pets, so she's breaking all three of those rules haha.
Nobody is saying that buying a pure breed from a breeder is wrong.I get that being a vegan is hard, I get that being 100% loyal to animals is even harder but when you act like you're holier than thou and say things like
"I care so deeply about animals & I wish everyone could realize the impact of their everyday decisions. I don't see how they don't see it..."
and
"Having a big heart is such a burden sometimes. Every now & then I wish I could care a little less & live a little more..." It kind of makes you look like a hypocrite and if you don't want people to call you out on your ish don't be so self righteous, you know?
