      With all due respect, fuck anyone that has an unneutered cat. Or anyone that lets a cat outdoors period. Sorry your cute little fluffball hunts for sport and can kill literally tens of thousands of birds and small mammals and reptiles per year PER SINGULAR CAT.

      Domestic house cats are more destructive to wildlife than nearly any other human activity.

        I agree with both of you. Fuck people for letting their cats out, and fuck Australians for shooting kitties.

          No, the environmentalist. Stray and outdoor House cats are worse for the environment than cars.

          Um, what gave it away? Was it the Instance name? The Community name? Or the state mentioned in the post? 😀

      Fuck Australia because we control destructive pests? Righto, guess we should let them destroy the native wild life to this country. We do the same with kangaroo, fox and wild pig populations. Should we also just let them destroy crops and farmland?

      Nah but fuck an entire country for doing something that likely happens in your own country. Super reasonable and mature take.
