    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.
