PETA has been full retard but cats, and small dogs, should be kept indoors and any pet should be strictly kept within their owner's control. People that say they have an "indoor/outdoor" cat are simply ignorant, lazy, and unfit to own any pet.

the retardation of PETA is not New.
It is only outdone by the retardation of Pro-Choice movement.

It's not a coincidence that both groups have many of the same members.

are we running out of birds or something? Why do y'all care about these birds?

How about y'all bitch about the 10-20 billion small rodents they also kill every year.

this is the first time in 3 years i've been able to grow and eat cantaloupe and watermelon before the fricking mice sunk their disgusting teeth in them, thanks to my killer cat. All the poison and rat traps couldn't stop them the last 2 years. Also the first time the squirrels didn't eat my corn, and i'm looking forward to having pumpkins this October that don't get eaten by rodents, as they have been destroyed by fricking rats the last 2 years.

This might be the only thing I've agreed with Peta on.

Free roam/feral cats should be treated the same way we treat feral hogs.

If you have barn cats for rodent control they should be spayed/neutered.

Also opposed to these.

But since we have motor vehicles and windmills, we should just say frick it and let our house cats kill billions of birds and damage the ecosystem?

Sound logic.

They aren't wrong. Domestic cats murder the shite out of birds every year. They are essentially an invasive species.


Right

This is actually the least moronic thing I’ve seen PETA make a stand for

Yes, actually.

There has been a precipitous decline in bird species over the previous 50 years.

And birds are important to the cycle of the environment for many reasons, including plant pollination.

Also an issue.

There are some positive actions that they take, BUT the current negatives far outweigh the positives.

Let's put birds aside, we all agree as a society that dogs shouldn't leave your property freely.

You can control this with fences and electric collars, etc.

You letting your cat outside is you saying "I don't care if my pet goes on my neighbors property and does what it wants".

This is probably the first thing PETA and I agree with. My neighbor has a few cats they let run wild and I lose several birds a year because of them.

Cat eat bird world. The bird has its defenses the cat has its predatory instincts. It's not the cats fault they are higher on the totem pole. Humans wipe out animals by the billions. They dont keep us caged up and repress our predatory instincts do they? We are alpha, as the cats are to birds.

No issue with this but PETA should also be recommending people not buy bird seed, humminbird food, etc... Just let nature do its thing.

If that's their stance on cats, it ought to apply to anything "not natural".

100% true. Outside cats are the most common predator of songbirds. Keep your cats inside where they can be shitty pets just for you and not annoy anyone else

"Don't feed and help declining wild bird populations that are enormous positive for the ecosystem because that's the same as letting your domesticated pets roam freely and kill wild birds"

I like the windmill farm comparison.

1 million kills vs 4 billion

We can compare if you like.

Cats in the USA kill upwards of 4 BILLION birds a year.

Roadkill is estimated at ~365 million animals per year.

And that is all animals, from small, like lizards, to large, like deer.

The comparison isn’t even close.



according to AI:

quote:

The United States is home to an estimated 10 to 20 billion individual birds overall, and hosts over 1,100 unique native and introduced bird species.


quote:

North American bird populations have plummeted by nearly 3 billion breeding adults since 1970. The primary drivers of this crisis are large-scale habitat loss, agricultural intensification, climate change, and direct human-caused mortality (such as glass collisions and predation by domestic cats).



so in 50+ yeas the bird population in the US has decreased by about 3B. cats are a piece of the problem, but willing to bet development and pesticides have a much larger contribution the birds. cat are more likely population control then population destroying. if not for the cats, then ou would likely see more birds die from lack of food/resources

“Natural selection” doesn’t mean “animals died, therefore nature.” Domesticated, fed, sheltered, non-native predators and glass skyscrapers aren't natural pressures.
