I've always read "don't let your out or they will commit ethnic cleansing on your neighborhood fauna" as similar to "treat all firearms as if they are loaded". While it is obviously situational (some cats don't hunt/hunt well, obviously some guns aren't loaded), the consequences of getting it wrong are pretty bad.
Sure. We wouldn't choose to live with cats. But currently it's not our choice, so we do what we can.
All this coming from a species that eradicates more living beings than any other living creature on this planet. The hypocrisy is astounding.
Keep telling yourselves that cats are the ones destroying other living creatures and their habitat. I'm sure it helps you people sleep at night.
Cats are just an extension of the behavior you described. We are responsible.
