Cats, pigs and bettafish continue unslandered, no one wants to annoy Reddit.
- selmnoo 13y agoThat actually bugs me a lot. Cats are wreaking environmental havoc: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/01/29/cats-wild-birds-mammals-study/1873871/ http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/01/29/cats-wi... Raising this point on Reddit only gets you downvotes.
- lurkinggrue 13y agoGonna have to downvote you.
- nikatwork 13y agoYou know who's wreaking environmental havoc? Humans.
- forktheif 13y agoThe impact cats are having has been greatly overstated for two main reasons. 1. Original studies over estimated the amount of animals a typical cat kills. 2. Cats roam over a lot less area than you'd think, rarely going even half a mile away from their home. Putting the majority of wild animals out of reach of a house cat's range.
- aac 13y agoI'm sure you're aware this isn't Reddit. Are you saying that HN has become so diluted that it's become another Reddit? (But you might be right unfortunately).
- aaronbrethorst 13y agoHere's why this comment was downvoted: http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- tobylane 13y agoSlate is more affected by the feelings of Reddit than of HN, as pageviews count.
- gurkendoktor 13y agoWhy would reddit want to romanticise pigs? Last time I've signed in, there were plenty of discussions about whether it was right to eat animals. Pigs being jerks would certainly have made it easier for one side, and I didn't get the impression that people really fawned over them...
