Cats are obligate carnivores. Feeding them vegetarian food is literally animal cruelty.

Then there is no animal friendly way to keep cats without damage to the environment

Oh so I guess if we cannot be perfect we should just stop caring. Blocking people who cannot be communicated with on here requires way too much effort and yet I persist...

Like what the fuck is the point in pretending people need to know that nothing is perfect? Everyone obviously already gets that

You're implying something and it's not good. Pretend otherwise all you want, I won't see your messages

I'm implying cats have an effect on the climate because they eat meat. Not telling anyone not to have cats. I'm not sneakily implying anything else. I'm also not saying anything remotely controversial.

I get that there's a difference with farmed meat and all, but you may as well argue natural wild predators are bad for the environment

[–] bryophile@lemmy.zip -1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The difference between farmed and wild meat is crucial so no I may not as well argue that.

Leaving cats to find their own game instead of feeding them farmed meat is significantly worse for the local population (of birds in particular)
