he only thing is would that really be considered "unnatural"?
I mean one is a predator. the other is a prey.

We kill all sorts of animals protecting crops. At least the cat is getting a meal.
Don't tell the vegans.

Thats the same reason I feed coyotes. They take care of the outside cats.

I don’t want to hear any Louisianan complain about the apple snail and crawfish prices after this thread.

PETA should advocate the murder of cats.
The advocate for euthanizing feral cats. I looked into that because of this thread and was very surprised

Correct. If cats were not viewed as pets and PETA was not the org in the OP, nobody would have a problem with intervention for an invasive cat population

And I have zero problem with your solution.
I would assume everyone who has an issue with cats on their property are actively doing something to keep squirrels off their property too.
I shoot the squirrels with an air gun when they start chewing on my plastic vents on my roof. Not interested in killing them, just don’t want them eating my vents, or getting in my attic. I don’t have an irrational hate for the nuisance that squirrels are though like people do with cats, who are way less of a nuisance.
I also understand my outdoor cat will likely meet a nature death by a bigger animal at some point. I’m not going to be mad about it.

PETA started out admirably enough, fighting puppy mills and such. Now, like SLPC they are looking for reasons to exist. My guess is that they pay “puppy mills” to operate so that they can have a “boogy man” for fundraising. Sound familiar?

my bird dawgs keep the squirrels in line.

If you let your cat outside you are contributing to the risk of it being injured or killed by a vehicle or other animals or humans. Barn cats or outdoor stray cats being fed, excluded.

I watched an osprey snatch up a cat about 20 years ago. One for the good guys
Posted on 6/25/26 at 1:21 pm to DarthRebel
Might be the first time I've agreed with Peta. Keep your cat in your house.

What about dogs
Posted on 6/25/26 at 1:38 pm to cgrand
Sure. I get that, but that’s not what I’m getting at. What is the population of house cats vs feral cats? Internet search indicates it’s an about 50-50. 70-74 million house cats vs 60-100 million feral cats. Of those house cats, how many are outdoors and/or fixed?
The tone of the thread is damning house cats exclusively. That can and should be controlled better with keeping them indoors and getting them fixed. But that’s only half the problem. For the record, my house has one cat who stays indoors all the time. Terrified of the outside world.

For owned/pet house cats, excluding feral/unowned cats, the clearest U.S. estimate comes from the 2013 Loss, Will & Marra model: free-ranging cats in the contiguous U.S. kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds/year, with about 69% attributed to unowned cats. That implies owned cats account for roughly 31%, or about 0.4–1.2 billion birds/year, with a midpoint around 740 million/year.

what an utterly moronic thing Posted on 6/25/26 at 1:54 pm to Salmon
What if we like when our cats assert their dominance over the weak and live their best life as the bird and rodent killing machine god made them to be?
