The issue is people thinking there is just an issue. When will you children learn that one bad thing does not justify another? All that you said is an issue, yes. I can also point out much worse issues, so we shouldn’t worry about those, right? Of course that isn’t correct! More than one thing can be bad at the same time, and we can also work on more than one thing at a time. Work on bringing back native plants and animals to suburbia and reduce how many evasive species we release into the environment. This isn’t an exclusive or situation. We can work on all of it.
When we start actually giving a shit about the local biome then I’ll consider giving my cat the shittiest life possible. Until then? Y’all can go fuck yourselves.
Indoor cats live longer healthier lives on average.
Anyway, you’re a shitty person. No one would ever improve anything if everything else had to be fixed first. You can always come up with some excuse for something else that needs to be improved before you hold yourself accountable for your own actions. No, this is all a lame bullshit excuse because you don’t want to do the right thing. It isn’t about other people. It’s about you being a lazy selfish asshole.
Nah, I do lots of local activism for the environment and the community. Going around and telling everyone in my neighbourhood to keep their cats inside doesnt feel helpful.
No more than “you’re a shitty person because you’re okay with throwing trash on the ground outdoors.” Actually, it’s worse than that be cause it’s also bad for the health of the cat and the environment.
I guess you also think it’s cruel to not let children run in the road when they want to, right?
If you’re not providing the right stimulation for your pet, in a safe and healthy environment where they don’t cause issues for others, then that’s on you as a pet owner. Either don’t keep a pet or do your fucking job. They don’t get to make the decisions. You do.
It’s not a false equivalence. It’s hyperbole. It’s meant to give an extreme example that you wouldn’t agree with, which follows the same logic, to disprove your logic.

I’m talking about you keeping your cat inside, not going to neighbors and telling them to.
Also “you’re a shitty person because you’re okay with cats being allowed outdoors” is an insane take.

See I would argue that it’s cruel to keep an animal that wants to be outside trapped in a house for the entirety of their lives.

lol this is such a moronic example of false equivalency that I don’t even know what to say to you.
