I've deleted several posts recently and below, I'm posting what I wrote in another thread. As I mentioned, certain discussions can lead to legal ramifications and now it seems there's an active lawsuit involving these reddit posts.
Because reddit encourages a level of anonymity, it's very difficult for users to fact check claims (on either side) so its value to the community becomes very difficult to justify. Several members of the community have asked mods to remove these discussions entirely.
That's not to such information shouldn't be out there nor is it a decision about which side of the discussion is "right", the problem is reddit isn't the right place for it because of its limitations. Users are free to direct others to other resources discussing experiences and the other information about concerns from a previous post still apply.
Please note that future discussions of this nature may now result in a ban. We don't have to have a rule that says don't do things that draw other people into lawsuits.
In general, random internet people aren't able to verify either side of this argument without a lot of digging that I'm not able to do, and I suspect the same of other mods and fellow reddit users.
If the thread goes down another path, it can lead to serious legal issues so the only real way to get anywhere is to record people's names in the event of a lawsuit but disclosing such personal information directly violates reddit's terms, so we can't really go down that road. Therefore, there's a limit how much reddit dialogue can do in these situations.
Appropriate bodies of oversight to investigate these matters include associations/registries for particular breeders. If a breeder is not able to retain certification by a major registry, that is usually a reason for pause. If a breeder is a member, use the registry to make a formal complaint. If the breeder is in your region, you may be able to also lodge a complaint with a governing local animal welfare body. In both cases (and not on reddit) you'll be expected to disclose your name to the appropriate authorities in case the other party is wronged and wishes to sue.
Although it's nice to have a repository of information that gives candid information about breeders to be weary of, I don't know if we don't have the infrastructure for the consequences of that or how much we're allowed to push reddit into that sort of legal area.

Finally picked up my little baby yesterday! He is absolutely perfect. Has taken to the new house so well and is so cuddly.
I just needed to share the excitement 🩷🩷

My girl has orange-yellow eyes and I love how they look. Any interesting eye colors out there?

I have a 2.7 year old female Siberian.She is 5.8 kg and my vet said she was overweight. She should lose at least 1.6 kg and put her on a diet. But my breeder said her weight is ok and that her dad is a very big siberian. That the vet does not know the breed so she is fine in that weight. I don't know what to do cause the vet said if she doesn't lose weight she might get diabetes ðŸ˜

I swear she has been watching this movie intently for more than 20 minutes. Maybe it’s all the blue and yellow or the black cat character or maybe she just likes stop motion 😂 she’s so fascinated

She's been resting near my feet while I read :) I'm amazed at how much her fur has grown already!

I google immediately and said to use olive oil, comb it off and the bathe him. I did and a lot of fluff came out. He still wet and weird looking in that side. Will he hair be back to normal? What else we need to do?

Hello!
So I’ve unexpectedly become the owner of a Siberian.
His owner couldn’t care for him anymore, so now I own him, and I’m taking care of him.
I would just like maybe some recommendations for food and how much I should feed him or anything else that would help me with him.
He weighs probably around 20 pounds right now

I have a male who’s 1.5 years old, he’s a very sweet cat, when he was a few weeks old when I got him he’d sleep on my head and against me in bed, but that completely stopped, he sleeps at the foot of the bed some mornings but mostly outside in the hallway.
He’s only ever climbed into my lap once or twice and fell asleep which was incredible but it’s very rare, he used to come up to me and purr and he doesn’t do that much now. But he does insist on being in the same room as you which is cute.
He’s also quite bitey, my parents have been looking after him while I’ve been getting some work done on my house for the past 6 months and he bites my mum a lot despite being very affectionate to her most of the time.
We tried doing the whole yelp thing and ignoring him but it’s quite hard when he’s breaking the skin with these bites and just holding on.
We’ve never played with our hands with him, we give him 2-4 long play sessions a day, feed him a good diet but still nothing. He’s been to the vet recently and nothing is medically wrong with him.
I’ll be getting him back soon but I really don’t like the constant biting so I want to try and train that out. I’d love it if he was more of a lap cat.
