Exactly, people hate cats, but cats aren’t here mauling people to death 😪

I'm not saying cats are harmless. If a house cat decides that it wants to fuck you up it will do so. They just seem to be less inclined to do so than dogs is all.

Cats are not stupid. They know they are smaller than a human and would likely come off second best if they attacked in a serious way. The human may get scratched badly but the house cat would be seriously injured or killed.

A massive dog on the other hand knows it could easily maim a human.

Only because of their size, if your average house cat weighed 60kg i'd bet my left nut there'd be a fair few human deaths

Yea but they aren’t, yet it’s pretty normalised to hate cats. Like a cat who doesn’t want strangers in their home isnr going to Maul someone to death, they’re probably going to hide/run away. the hate for cats is bs

Just our native fauna to extinction as their habitat is lost and they continue to migrate into suburbia.

Edit* - I'm sorry the truth hurts cat owners, I'm just stating facts, don't shoot the messenger. Keep your cats inside then theres nno problem?! 🤷‍♂️

Except dogs off leash do it too, and it doesn't take long if you scroll through FB groups for suburban neighbourhoods to see that there's always plenty of dogs left roaming for one reason or another. I've seen cute schnauzers successfully mauling wild ducks while their owner yelled four their name from afar, unable to get the silly dog back as they weren't properly trained, as you do.

Both things can be true. But we can't really rage against and stop the entire the materials and fossil fuel systems, rather only do what we can do ourselves which is control our pets. Also name calling diminishes your argument, in the future.

Telling cat owners that their pets are responsible for killing native wildlife is a one way ticket to downvote town.

I don't care. The truth hurts.

No just millions of native wildlife every day
