    Also “you’re a shitty person because you’re okay with cats being allowed outdoors” is an insane take.

      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.

        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.

          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.

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

              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.

                Using hyperbole to compare something in an argument is false equivalency Einstein.
