    Owls are badass.

    That’s something these anti cat people can’t reconcile…they live in a city that’s become a pretty finch paradise because they drove all the owls out when they paved their nests. Owls would have a smorgasbord…kill far more pretty birds than cats…if they could nest in parks.

    I’m not really pro cat…I’m actually anti people. I just think it’s dumb for people to think cats are a serious problem because they watched some doc sponsored by a bird watchers society.

      You know cats are here because of people, right? They, along with our cities, are issues we crested.

      I’m not anti-cat. I’m anti-destruction-of-the-environment. Cats are our responsibility, and fault, as much as the destruction our cities and roads are.

        If you feel that way then maybe you’ll understand that cats are really low on the list of how we’re being harmful. Top of the list is stop being a materialist. Solve that problem, and the 1000th problem on the list, cats, will solve itself.

        The message a lot of the anti-cat people propagate is: have indoor cats. Terrible idea. All the nonsense you buy for your indoor cats is also going to destroy the environment…but it won’t be some cute bird at the feeder so you don’t care. The literary “you”.

          God, what a shitty opinion. You people always go with the “what about” argument to justify shitty behavior. “Littering isn’t bad because burning coal for electricity is worse!” Such a lazy and bullshit argument. Something else bad happening does not justify other bad actions. This is shit you’re supposed to be taught as a child, but I guess some of you never learned that lesson.
