Here are the sides:
Side fuck outdoor cats: Cats the way we humans are currently treating them are an ecological disaster responsible for countless species dying out, outdoor cats also statistically die much earlier, and there's no reason to keep your cat outside.
Side outdoor cats: wtf why are you being so fucking weird about cats
cat outside like it has always been: voice of reason
Hey why are we in a mass extinction event where'd that come from.
Cats?
You're stating a unfactual fantasy.
Cats are domesticated pets that have lived with humans for thousands of years. At this point they aren't really native to any specific region anymore, and most certainly not in the population numbers they have now. They are natural predators with prey that has few defenses against them. Pretending there's anything "natural" about cats is silly.
"I've never heard of it before, therefore it cannot be true" is a wild statement to just throw out there.
Also fuck off with your bullshit ableism.
How do you acquire new information then?
We haven't always owned and protected millions of them, to be fair. Wild cats have a natural place in ecosystems, but their relationship with us doesn't.
