Some of us live in countries that don't really have dangerous wild life and cats have been allowed outside for over 1000 years.
Yeah I always found the argument absurd as I live on a paved over rectangle with a few square feet of grass my cat likes to poop on while he hangs out with the local squirrels. He is far too lazy to hunt anything, he killed a mouse that was actually inside the house many many years ago but has been a pacifist since. He is 15 he literally wants to sit in the sun and do nothing.
Of course there are some cats who will hunt, and their owners should not allow that. But the blanket statements about environmental impacts, while they cool their house with AC, burn fossil fuels to heat food and go to work, order crap on Amazon...just lacks perspective.
Urban sprawl as well.
These cat hater can't even get their heads out of their asses long enough to realize that humans are the biggest issue for wild animals bar none.
We destroy their habitat faster than any cat can hunt, but the cats are literally Hitler in their eyes.
They are delusional in my eyes.
And you're a fucking idiot. The cat is a tool of humans killing animals.
You are delusional in the majority of the population's eyes.
Oh no, not the majority. Whatever will I do?
Your words are of an eloquence that would make a sow blush. Idiot indeed!
What a grasp of the English language you have; educate me more, Daddy.
I don't think there's much you can do, you'll likely die the loser you are.
Best of luck, ggwp.
Oh no, some winner on the internet called me a loser from the safety of their device.
What shall I do?
It's funny how I think that you guys are a bunch of losers for the exact same thing.
I guess we are at a Mexican standoff of losership.
