But it does prevent huge amounts of environmental damage which can be helped, while we cannot help that cats require food. The only thing we could do about that is farm chickens for them or something.

    We absolutely could help by not fucking spreading an invasive predator to every corner of this globe just because we find them cute. That's morally reprehensible considering how dangerous cats are to local fauna:

    "Introduced rodents and cats are major agents of extinction, collectively being listed as causal factors in 44% of modern bird, mammal, and reptile species extinctions."
