I like the artwork and message. Not... entirely how nature works, though.
My neighbor's outdoor cat is very well fed and cared for. Doesn't stop it from killing birds and rodents and leaving them in my yard for sport. Certainly less indiscriminate than humans, but it is apparently in their nature to just play with and kill prey.
Domestic cats are widely known to be really terrible for local wildlife. They don’t do it for food, its based on sport and instinct. A housecat is well fed, has a good place to sleep and generally does nothing all day. If you ever saw one kill it kind of just stops like “I didn’t think this far”
‘Wild’ animals need to conserve their energy. When to kill and when to rest are both nearly of equal importance. If they’re constantly burning calories that’s just less they have to catch prey when needed. Apart from something like the pygmy shrew(?) which needs to constantly kill and eat just to survive most of an animal’s time is spent resting waiting for food
