      I think humans far outweigh the cats in the scale for harm done to animal populations on this earth.

      Are we gonna really start policing whether or not people let their cats out over some dumb birds?

        The damage done by cats is part of the human related harm. The cats did not relocate of their own volition. We put them there.

        If you think any animal small enough to fit in a cats mouth is “some dumb bird,” then I gotta say Mr. Random Dumb Ape, you sound like you would lose an intelligence test to the bird

                Cats ranking on a nonexistent list of “”“most invasive”“” doesnt matter.

                Cats degree of invasion is directly controlled by humans. They are, arguably, an extention of us outside of their native ranges.

                Reducing the impact of cat damage is a direct reduction of human damage. Because the cat was only able to do any damage at all because you let it go outside unsupervised.
