I hate to say it, but pet cats kill an estimated ~390 million animals annually (in Australia). They should also be on a leash and not allowed to roam freely.

- kadushka 1y agoCats, like any other predators, are born to kill other animals. It’s a natural order of things. My cat regularly brings back mice, birds, lizards and little snakes. I do have to get rid of them, but he makes me proud.
- shortrounddev2 1y agoCats are invasive species in the US and Australia, with very few natural predators left
- IAmBroom 1y ago> It’s a natural order of things. Natural, in the same sense that air conditioning and pickup trucks are natural. Feral cats mostly live in cities, or are fed by farmers to encourage them to stay where they can protect feed stores. Like modern corn (maize), they don't naturalize into the wild.
- kadushka 1y agoAre you disputing the fact that cats are natural born predators?
