Unnecessary Cruelty

I don’t mean to beat a dead horse or shock anyone, but how is this the idyllic life of a domesticated animal?

Mangy, worm infested, and at the mercy of predators and dogs: feral and outdoor cat advocates need to ask themselves, is this being merciful?

And how is this being a good neighbor, aren’t they concerned for people who are immunocompromised or have children that come into contact with communicable diseases from outdoor cats?

What about the countless wildlife that is already stressed from urban development and invasive plants and animals?

I think it’s cruel to worship domesticated cats like the Golden Calf and I will never accept TNR or anti cull legislations.

Sorry for the rant everyone, it’s just vexing to see people sacrifice the safety of human beings and native wildlife for an invasive predator numbering in the hundreds of millions.
