Humans can sustain a large density of cats that wasn’t possible in the wild. If it’s a pet cat, don’t let it hunt. It will imbalance the ecosystem by adding too many predators who don’t depend on the prey for sustenance
By your chosen username I’d guess you are a teenager with a cat. No one is coming for your particular cat, we are trying to save birds by talking about the norm of cat owning and how that should probably change over time.

I always love bringing out this good ol chart.
Fake news. Birds aren’t real.
so… cats are the most effective way to combat birds?
Bro someone send this chart to Australia, they can win EW2
yes :)
I might bookmark this one :)
But I am not talking about the US
Not a lick of urban sprawl in your fancy graphic. I wonder why?
Buildings, automobiles, power lines…
Which is not the same as the effects of urban sprawl destroying their habitat (however this is obviously impossible to quantify)
English isn’t your first language.
Thinking isn’t your strong suit.
Define urban sprawl.
Are you under the impression that being against urban sprawl is an unpopular opinion on Lemmy?
Im under the impression that saying that cats are the end of birds is asinine when all we do as humans is destroy habitat for all fauna.
Overly dramatic people who think their meat comes from a store are the same people who make this argument about cats.
Get over it, cats are not the genocidal maniacs you make them out to be, WE ARE.
Maybe letting cats out is one of the many ways we destroy habitat, and calling it out is valid?
Maybe start with the house that is burning down before putting out your match.
And stop calling out those who call you out on this crap.

You’re not calling anyone out on anything. We’re all quite aware of habitat destruction. It’s just not the focus of this particular thread.
Ok, sure, Im not calling you out. I’m calling you deluded.
How would you quantify that?
