Indeed, pet owners simply don’t want to hear the truth which is incredibly irresponsible.
Even if you really must let your cat out there are things you can do like colorful collars with an attached bell which:
The BBScc reduced the number of birds brought home by 37% (probability of reduction of 88%). The number of mammals brought home was reduced by 54–62%, but only with the additional bell (probability of reduction of >99%)
I’ve never seen a cat owner who cares enough to even do that when we have clear evidence this works. The naturalist argument of “oh they are local animals” is such an irresponsible cop out where they can’t even bother to put a collar on to diminish the damage. It’s inexcusable laziness, nothing else.

Strap a collar so that your cat ends up crazy or hanged surely there wont be any animal cruelty after that right guys right ??
I bring you evidence you bring me imaginary anecdotes. OK.
Do you live in a building? Like something that was built by humans?
Then you have killed more animals than any cat will ever kill. Your continued use of any kind of lodging is killing animals.
Please stop living inside a man made structure and help destroy said structure so birds can live and take back their habitats.
After you do that, I will stop letting my 15 year old cat outside.
Have a great life!
Lmao what a stupid fallacy thats not even worth responding to. Bye
It’s OK, I thought what you wrote was not worthy of my time either, but then I decided to educate actual intelligent people, so I responded.
