    But letting it slaughter little birds is not cruel, somehow? A manmade pest with no beneficial role to nature is somehow much better to you than functioning ecosystems? If a cat gets out, the owner has made a mistake and will now deal with the consequences.

      You mean allowing those cats to follow their instinct doesn’t compare to a human making a rational decision to straight up kill someones cat because they slipped through a door?

      Who would have thought?

      Do you also kill your spouse when they eat a steak?

        No, because as a Human I don’t have any authority to weigh the value of other Humans, but we do have that right and in fact the responsibility over Cats which exist in absurd numbers everywhere as a result of human incompetence. Your cat should never escape if you’re responsible, and if it does then I hope you can catch it before it causes any harm and is exterminated.
