How about not letting your invasive species drive other animals to extinction for sport? It’s nonsensical to call it a natural animal, and completely ignore the fact that they live nothing like an animal in nature, and have their population artificially supported while they decimate other species for sport. A house cat shares 0% of the life of a ‘natural’ animal.
If you want to own a pet cat, don’t promote irresponsible behavior that intentionally harms the environment. Attempt to have a modicum respect for things that exist outside yourself.

What part of: "If you don't like cats hunting birds, don't own a pet cat, as to not sponsor the artificially inflated proliferation of domestic cats." did you miss?
- travmatt 7y agoIt’s not a binary choice between owning a cat and letting it wipe out as much of the native animal population as it can. Again, encouraging people to let their animals wipe out populations of wild animals is wrong, and doing it because it allows your domesticated animal the freedom of feeling ‘natural’ is a supremely selfish behavior.
