The damage done by cats is part of the human related harm. The cats did not relocate of their own volition. We put them there.

If you think any animal small enough to fit in a cats mouth is "some dumb bird," then I gotta say Mr. Random Dumb Ape, you sound like you would lose an intelligence test to the bird

It's fucking nature man. Let it be.

It's not, actually, like the guy said, it's a human made problem.

Because cats never killed something before we domesticated them, huh?

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It was before there were 600 million of them.

Ay bud I get you failed biology but "let it be" about invasive species is the actual last thing you do

[–] thoughtorgan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Humans are the most invasive species.

Cats are way down the list.

Cats ranking on a nonexistent list of """most invasive""" doesnt matter.

Cats degree of invasion is directly controlled by humans. They are, arguably, an extention of us outside of their native ranges.

Reducing the impact of cat damage is a direct reduction of human damage. Because the cat was only able to do any damage at all because you let it go outside unsupervised.
