    Moral of the story, leash your cats if they go outside. Don’t be a neglectful pet owner

      This is the UK and not the US.

      Cats in europe are far, far less at risk or a risk to the environment then in the US and outdoor cats are not at all a problem.

      A cat being run over is rare. Being shot, poisoned or killed by a coyote or other wildlife quite unheard of. And they don’t pose any significant thread to local wildlife.

      Americans created that dangerous and deadly invironment for animals themselves. That doesn’t mean that the whole world has to lock up or leash their cats.

        Malicious American environmentalists protecting predators strike yet again!

        Do you mind elaborating a bit there? I mean I know people say birds are just government surveillance drones, but even if that were true you’d have “birds” too for the cats to kill in excess.

        I don’t get the cars thing either. Like I know us Americans are absolute assholes in every single respect, but I’d be hard pressed to find someone who actively aims to run over cats. How is that different elsewhere?
