Live in Sweden and have 3 cats. Two are outdoor cats and one wanted to be an outdoor cat but he kinda realised he is fat and lazy and wants to stay home. So this felt very accurate for the cats who live with me!
Oh and in Sweden all cats are tagged and registered in case any should go missing. I could not imagine a world where I would deny my cats the right to go outside. Then again I did move to the countryside just so my cats could have a better life far away from traffic.
Cats commit genocide on the avian population. If they would learn to behave they would get outside priviliges.
I think humans far outweigh the cats in the scale for harm done to animal populations on this earth.
Are we gonna really start policing whether or not people let their cats out over some dumb birds?
The damage done by cats is part of the human related harm. The cats did not relocate of their own volition. We put them there.
If you think any animal small enough to fit in a cats mouth is "some dumb bird," then I gotta say Mr. Random Dumb Ape, you sound like you would lose an intelligence test to the bird
It's fucking nature man. Let it be.
It's not, actually, like the guy said, it's a human made problem.
Because cats never killed something before we domesticated them, huh?
It was before there were 600 million of them.
Ay bud I get you failed biology but "let it be" about invasive species is the actual last thing you do
Humans are the most invasive species.
Cats are way down the list.
Cats ranking on a nonexistent list of """most invasive""" doesnt matter.
Cats degree of invasion is directly controlled by humans. They are, arguably, an extention of us outside of their native ranges.
Reducing the impact of cat damage is a direct reduction of human damage. Because the cat was only able to do any damage at all because you let it go outside unsupervised.
