This works for people with empathy who care. The former works for people who are selfish. Both are good to tell people. One may work where the other doesn’t.
The birds do a lot more for you than just eating herbs in your garden. You just aren’t aware of it, until they’re gone at least. Stop thinking you’re more important than the ecosystem.
They think that cats kill every single bird and don’t think about what massive harm humans have done.
They are delusional and don’t understand nature and reality.
These people probably think meat comes from the grocery store.
I can’t fathom how out of touch you have to be to blame cats for everything humans have done. Sure, cats hunt, but to say they are destroyers of entire species is beyond delusion and into severe mental health territory.
Showing a graphic about how buildings kill fewer birds than cats is asinine and disingenuous, to say the least.
Maybe compare cats to urban sprawl to see what that says about who kills and displaced wild animals. Hypocrites the lot of them.
So, to your ridiculous rambling, the damage domestic cats do to the local ecosystem is damage that humans are causing. Which is why the entire discussion is about telling people not to let their cats outside.
But, one thing you need to realize is that just because the discussion is about damage caused by non-humans doesn’t mean that people are ignoring the damage that humans cause.
It’s like getting pissed off at BLM because the discussion is about black people and not all people.
So I live in an apartment which by virtue of going up uses far less space, I keep my cats indoors and take them on walks outside, and I didn’t create a bunch of kids and instead chose to raise one that already existed. You can always do more.
Im glad for you and your cats. They are probably very happy living with you.
What I’m arguing against is the hypocrisy that is being said in regards to cats and them being the destroyer of birds, as some have said.
They argue that cats kill all birds, and the poor birds are all dead because of it; without recognizing the fact that humans are the biggest displacers and destructors of fauna.
Funny.
In Europe we’ve the same discussion for the opposite reasons.
Do not let the cat outside, it will kills other animals.
It’s really both. Eventually cat will get into an accident, but on the way there it will take a whole bunch of smaller animals and birds with it.
Never had a cat that got into an accident, though one of my current cats is an idiot when it comes to walking across the drive
This reads a bit like “that hasn’t happened to me so that doesn’t happen”.
“I don’t wear my seatbelt, but nothings happened so it’s probably fine”

birds are annoying and eat herbs in my garden, my cat eats slightly less of the garden and provides me with entertainment and bird removal.

there are so many birds and so much environment I don’t think a cat occasionally escaping from my house will do much harm.
Domestic cats are responsible for the extinction of several species.
Well guess what, most ecological destruction is caused by people with that exact mindset.
They think that cats kill every single bird and don’t think about what massive harm humans have done.

My brother in Christ, cats have made species go extinct because humans bring them everywhere. It’s our responsibility.
Name one species.

Definitely not the shit you smoke that rots your brain.

You can use netting to keep them off or your garden or just grow enough to have enough after they need or both
But that’s the point. I don’t want mice around the house.
