Cats too. I hate that people let cats roam, it's irresponsible and shitty to just let your pet out to do whatever it wants with everyone else's property. And now there are gonna be unvaccinated, rabid cats roaming and infecting it further.
Hey maybe the apocalypse is coming and this is the start of a zombie/aggressive rabies outbreak!
I'd let my cat out if I had one. They deserve to explore and be happy
They die much younger on average if you do that.
True that.
Do they deserve to explore and suffer horrible injuries and/or death? All the while decimating local bird populations, and, if not spayed or neutered, creating more kittens to live lives full of suffering and hardship?
Yep
Good thing you don't have cats then, sounds like you'd be an irresponsible owner.
I thought you would love to know... haha, we are e now irresponsible cat owners. ;)
Why would I like to know that you're proud of potentially causing suffering to your pets and other animals?
Even just today I had to rescue a kitten who had been yelling for hours near my house because their owners let them outside. At least she was microchipped so we could find them easily, but she was not happy about it at all. Came running after me as soon as she saw me, and ran inside the house when I opened the kitchen door.
Never change.
If you say so friend.
Can you imagine if dog people just opened their doors at night, let their dogs fuck off to wreck property, kill pets, get killed themselves, and destroy native birds and animals? They'd rightly be called out and have their pets taken away. Take care of YOUR pet and keep it on YOUR property. I've had issues with neighbor cats causing damages to my property, and if your pet becomes my pest, I will treat it as such.
I remember a neighbor's cat once almost tore through my window screen to get at my pet parrot. If that cat had made it inside my house and attacked my pet, he would not have made it out alive.
Dogs and cats are not the same. And that sucks.
I'm also glad I don't know you and I bet that is mutual. We can celebrate this non-familularity.
