I don't understand why people are so defensive about this. Study after study shows that cats are fucking terrible for native ecosystems.
Not just that, outdoor cats live much shorter lives. There is literally no reason to put a cat outside unless you hate your pet and your ecosystem.
It's irresponsible and stupid, but my sweet baby would never!
Or it's not fair to keep them inside all day! Okay build an enclosure outside they can go into like a responsible owner.
I don't even know what all to say to the chucklefuck that thinks it's fine that the Scottish Wildcat is being bred to extinction. It's okay though because that's just evolution.
Humanity was a fucking mistake
I didn't say it's fine. I said it's the only problem when you made the grand claim that domestic cats were basically stealing their food source.
Because you made it sound like they're dying, when they're really just hybridising. Both are forms of extinction in a sense, but one is a lot worse than the other.
And again, they don't even live in the same damn parts of the country.
Americans like you need put in your place and reminded that the whole world does not revolve about you and your country's circumstances.
Yes only in America are wild cats threatening native cat's food sources. At least you're able to see America from your pedestal.
You told me, that the domestic cat must be eating the Scottish Wildcat's lunch.
We were specifically talking about that species at that point. Don't try to spin it.
