    Do you get off on animals going extinct? What is wrong with you?

    “Outdoor domestic cats are a recognized threat to global biodiversity. Cats have contributed to the extinction of 63 species of birds, mammals, and reptiles in the wild”

      Pretty fuckin low on the priority list to be honest. Cats have been doing this forever. Humans are way worse.

        Yeah in their natural habitats, humans are the ones that brought cats with them enabling them to hunt species to extinction. Cats could not have done it without humanity’s help.

        Cats are part of the human problem. If you cant reason that bit out, you 100% should not be responsible for another living thing, and probably need regular supervision from an adult to keep you from hurting yourself

          This planets already fucked.

          Compare the damage humans have done to this planet compared to cats, and tell me THAT’S the problem we should be focusing on.

          This planets fucked precisely because people like you worry about the smallest part of the problem possible while championing yourselves as intellectually and morally superior. You’re just stupid.

            The cats are part of the damage done by humans.

            This subject is literally my job, dropout. Just because you dont grasp what we teach to children about nature doesnt make the facts suddenly warp to your feelings.
