Realistically, outdoor cats don't travel much. They just hang out in their neighborhood, chill in their favorite spots, etc.

Murder local wildlife, cause property damage to neighbors, kill neighbors pets, spread disease. Roaming cats suck, and so do their entitled owners who think that everyone's property belongs to their pet

While we're at it, let's get rid of birds that shit on everything, deer that eat our gardens, raccoons that get in our trash, skunks that dig up our grass ....

They brought up how cats disturb the ecosystem and spread disease. You brought up how other animals can disturb people's capital. These two are not equivalent.

Cats are natural in many parts of the world.

The Scottish wild cat for instance came to the UK across a land bridge 9000 years ago.

This thread is full of people that have probably never left America, regurgitating virtue signalling nonsense that they know very little about.

I understand that in some ecosystems that pet cats are devastating, but it's just not true for most of the world.

There's an enormous difference in the natural occurrence of native wild cats and feral or roaming domestic cats.
No one is arguing against native wild cats being around, but against artificially introducing a mesopredator into the ecosystem.

These people are fucking insane. Like they don't go outside ever.

Can you believe an ANIMAL killed another ANIMAL? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

I have a pet parrot, a neighbors cat almost got through my window screen to attack my pet. That cat would not have survived, and then you can go "OMG A HUMAN KILLED A PEST" and we'll see if you're fair about it

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

You can leave that "S" out of "pest" and see how everyone would disagree with you.
