Are some animals evil?

Cats killing huge numbers of British birds, Sir David Attenborough warns

Poor widdle birdies. Damn those cats.

Meanwhile, let's forget the environmental damage done by over 4 million cows and more than 12 million pigs in the Netherlands alone, how much space they deprive the birdies of, how many thousand square kilometres was alienated from the natural environment to grow the food to grow those animals for human consumption. Pigs and cattle alone are responsible for several magnitudes more widdle birdies never even coming into existence that would have thrived if humans had not stolen the environment in which they would have built nests. Entire ecosystems have been destroyed for... hang on - is there any original natural habitat left in the Netherlands at all? Yeah, but what about those damn cats, huh?

Next, let's have a quick glance at the aquatic scene. What would the Netherlands look like without all those man made dikes, polders and such? Oh, look. Two thirds of it would be permanently submarine or flooded on a regular basis. I wonder what that means for the widdle fishies that would have swum there, safe from those damn cats. Looks like Amsterdam would not exist, and several other big cities besides.



I could go on about the houses, roads, football fields and so on, that prevent nature from taking its course, but hopefully you got the picture already: compared to us bipeds, cats have done fuck-all by way of environmental damage, and that applies especially to the 31st most densely populated country or territory out of 246 in the world. Yes, the Netherlands.

Cow owners should be banded.

WTF has got to do with careless cat owners? Like I said it is handy to have a toko in the area. It makes cat owners think.

[Hermit]

O no! Not that "cat owner" canard again. Show me someone who thinks they are a cat owner and I show you a seriously deluded person.

Next time you shave your face, say this out loud: "One doesn't need to think of oneself as a cat owner to be a seriously deluded person. I am looking at proof of this right now."

As for the connection between cows etc and cats, I just reiterate: compared to us bipeds, cats have done fuck-all by way of environmental damage. Focus on what matters more, dude.

So the number of garden birds the kill is insignificant? That was THE Sir David Attenborough. Cats are a pest.
Who owns the cats then? If they dont have owners they should be destroyed. I would listen any time to a blackbird than two moggies trying to have sex.

Going back to your moggie. The fact it played with a mouse for half an hour then killed it is perfectly acceptable to you. You dont mind animals torturing other animals. That's cute. It is just sick man pure sick. Like the Japs did with the Chinese. Just played around with them.

Yes. Compared to what we destroy a couple of hundred million birdies is SFA. I was wrong when I so optimistically suggested that "hopefully you got the picture already". I guess it will never penetrate your skull.

So your moggie that you own can just kill all the birds and you wont take any action. When it plays with a mouse for half an hour you will not take any action. Just what are you?
So by the same premise if I go out and kill all the cats, as they are not owned by anyone and killing cats is not an offence, I find that is ok because so many have been killed in the past. The logic will never penetrate that grey cell you call a brain.

And dull witted, and will clumsily trample you to death just to see if you're edible.

So, exercise great care in your next tipping attempt...

Hermit, as a member of a cat's staff myself, I have to disagree to an extent. Cats (even domestic ones) certainly can do a lot of damage to the bird population; Milky when young killed a few, until we exercised more care. Human staff can reduce the problem, by making sure they are locked away at night, and inside as much as possible during the day. On top of that, feral cats in Oz have been a nightmare to the population of small marsupials, and should be shot/poisoned/trapped heavily.

Swans are evil, beady-eyed, nasty fucker.

Are some animals evil? Like a lil boll weevil?

Take your medication.

It's possible to both chew gum and walk at the same time.

Yep. I unfortunately narrowly missed running over a stray/feral cat in a beautiful section of rainforest I was driving through last night. Cats make me wish it was easier to own a firearm in australia, as they are almost impossible to hit with the car but they do often sit in cover on the side of the road and watch you as you go by. A gun would be very handy in those situations.

You could easily get a licence for an relatively inexpensive bolt-action .22 Then you could enthusiastically join the fun in the gun forum!
