  one more thing

  I find it disgusting that you would wish death and disease on any animal.  If that is not hypocrisy, then please, tell me what is?  On Umbra on cats and birds posted 2 years ago 72 Responses

  Ridiculous!

  This story is absurd, and it's the kind of blabber that gives progressives a bad name.  First of all, there is no way to prove the numbers presented here, which are beyond excessive.  Secondly, how many of the birds are nuisance birds and/or invasive species?  My full time outdoor cat kills 2 types of birds, pigeons and blue jays.  These birds are completely annoying and I am thankful to her for helping to control their population.  She also kills rats, mice, and baby possums.  We should be thankful for this service.  This is nature, and we shouldn't stand in the way of such things.  Besides, any bird, (Hello, they fly!) that can't escape a terra-bound cat, was certainly in trouble to begin with.  I'm pretty sure that wild birds have more to fear from raptors and other truly wild predators, than house cats who are out for some air.  What would the bird lovers have us do, wipe out hawks and owls, too?  Lastly, why is it that whenever these wishy-washy articles pop up, they never include the numbers of cats that are put down each year?  In my county alone, over 50,000 are gassed annually. No one ever sticks up for these cats.  In summary, there are far more things to fear than household cats taking out a bird or three.  Overall, cats surely are more helpful than not.         On Umbra on cats and birds posted 2 years ago 72 Responses
