That the risk you take with an outdoor cat. It's not even like water is harmful to it.

I used to have an outdoor cat and if that happened I would have shrugged it off and expected him not to go there again.

"Nobody got hurt, just LET ASSHOLE BE ASSHOLES! MUH FREEDUMS!"

Nah, I'm a firm believer in 'Fuck around and Find out'

It's the risk you take letting your kid go outside. It's not even like water is harmful to it.

That the risk you take

Well someone might just hit your car, that's the risk you take by driving, nobody got hurt, they shouldn't be held accountable. I would have shrugged it off and started taking the bus.

This is fun, we can remove all accountability from everything that's not harming someone directly!

Well, you don't have to let your cat go outside. In fact is kind of reckless to do so.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Well, you don't have to drive it's kind of reckless to do that too.

It’s cruelty. Can we chuck water over you?

[–] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think calling a splash of water from some dumb child "cruelty" delegitimizes actual cruelty. It's shit behavior for sure, but don't compare it to someone who tortures animals for fun.

[–] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

They didn't compare it. You are putting words in peoples mouths now.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only if I am walking on your fence

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But why is it a problem if it’s not doing you any harm?

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am not saying it's something you should do if someone walks on peoples fences.
