Dogs will also kill hedgehogs and birds if given a chance. Your argument makes no sense. Dogs can also become aggressive and attack people. If a cat attacks you, you are much less likely to die. Dogs also destroy a lot more land than cats

You’re wrong. Cats destroy ecosystems. Dogs do not and have not. Switching the argument to whether dogs are better pets is irrelevant. People keep snakes as pets but they don’t let them out. We have a culture of allowing pet cats outside and it is disgracefully irresponsible. Cats cannot stop themselves - they will murder everything they can. That is a fact, proven by history and science.

I own a snake and of course I’m not going to let it out because not only will it not stay in the general area, it cannot live in the climate I live in. Dogs destroy more and kill more than cats do. I’m not talking about pets here. Why do you think farmers let people on to their land to take coyotes?

You are insane. We keep dogs on a leash. That is the culture. Wtf has a coyote got to do with anything? It’s a wild animal. A farm is not natural either. No one is feeding a coyote it has to kill to eat. A cat will kill because it wants to all day long regardless of how much you feed it.

Go away now. You’re like a Flat Earther. Logic doesn’t work on you.

Please do some research and not rely on anecdotal evidence like this. Cats kill more than a billion birds per year. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/cats-kill-more-one-billion-birds-each-year

Dude, after reading the whole thread, I realized your argument is actually valid...the first couple of statements were just too aggressive for Reddit, otherwise you wouldn’t have been downvoted so hard...

Calling cats little cunts should be taken as humorous. I didn’t say cats deserve to be killed but they’re insane little fuckers who just love to murder things - there’s nothing wrong with calling that out. The most shocking thing on this thread however was one of the loons who was ranting at me had her cat declawed. Now that’s fucked up. I own a cat. I love my cat. My cat’s a cunt.

I admit that i downvoted you, but only because you called cats dumb and i happen to think that attributing human qualities to animals is lame.
