dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

what if instead of exterminating the outdoor cats we rounded them all up and kept them indoors from then on

How big does a roof have to be for the outdoors to be classed as indoors?

how long is a piece of string

I hope this doesn't cause a struggle session. But animals shouldn't be bred for profit or a posh hobby when heaps of homeless cats and dogs exist.

individuals adopting troubled animals isn't a good enough solution a lot of those animals have additional care requirements outside the capabilities of the average pet owner. What should be done is establish shelters with people actually trained to care for abused animals and make those shelters nice places.

You're misunderstanding me. When people buy pets, they support an industry that creates homeless animals and destroys the pets once they're no longer young and cute.

that's just a cat gulag

we need to respect the bird's agency in their own struggle and arm them against the cats

There's birds of prey that eat cats, but I think that'd be even worse for small bird populations.
