I read that somewhere
You wouldn’t do this to your cat. Or your dog. Or any other pet. Why should they have to go through it?
I would eat both of it were legal. Dog meat has been described to me multiple times and it sounds devine. Cats used to be called rooftop chickens. If you’re unwilling to eat X meat because of sympathy, I think you’re a bad omnivor.

Dont forget that cats also are invasive in a lot of places. Now get that rooftop chicken before it gets an actual bird.

  • on a serious note: the good PR that cats have is INSANE they are dangerous for avifauna but saying that ones cat is an “outside cat” who needs to roam around freely is somehow considered a valid statement - it is a pet ffs. But doing the same with a dog usually is not.

As required where I live cats should be neutered/sterilized.
That is sufficient.
The invasive argument is often used as an excuse by cat haters (there seem to be a lot for some reason) and sadists who do the most horrible things to them.
My cat was as good as a family member.
Always said if theoretically there were 2 people in a burning house and my cat, the first thing I’m doing is save my cat.
Not even a question.
And I don’t want to think about what I would do if I caught one of those sick animal torturers.
been in that theoretical and the first thing all of us did was corral the cats.

Don’t cats also keep rodent populations in check? It’s not all bad. Cities are completely transformed for humans anyway, so it’s hard to say what fauna “should” survive on the streets.

But outside of cities, you’re damn right. There was that one individual cat that is responsible for the extinction of multiple species!

Not sure how effective of a pest control cats are. And don’t be mistaken on the role of cities as ecosystems. They can harbour birds a lot, especially with greenspaces.
i mean our “outside cats” are usually doing work killing rats and shit, so
Also all the birds.
Back before we realized the extent of it, we were really proud of how good our indoor outdoor mouser was. Could sneak into a flock of pigeons unnoticed and catch a hummingbird without killing it. I miss that cat.

Yeah that can be a valid context from my POV, especially in a farm or sth similar.

But at least in my country the majority of outside cats are in suburbs or similar family homes with no agriculture around that is threatened by vermin.

On the other hand now I am wondering on the efficiency of cats as pest control.

i’m in a multifamily home right on the edge of suburbia/agriculture. our cats are still pest control (the weeks the fields get sprayed we are overrun with mice and rats. folk who have indoor cats didn’t have to deal with it indoors and a few years later everyone had cats. ours don’t catch anything but bugs, but just their scent keeps the rodents away. also the frogs thank the gods that was a year when a frog moved in. tiny fucker was so loud and we couldn’t find him. ended up being the size of a dime. we had to make our indoor/outdoor mouser (we didn’t know 20 years ago, also were more rural) go hang out near where the frog was but the damn racket even scared off our cat at first)
But would you boil them alive?
We should just start eating humans. They are pointless and invasive and they eat meat as a choice.
Risk of Prion‘s disease is too high.
Not the question.
I don’t know man, due to sympathy neither my dogs, cats or goats would eat each other or humans. And 2 of them are carnivores.

Yeah right your cat doesn’t eat you because of sympathy 😂
Did you ever have a feline friend? Like a real friendship?
This friendshio you are talking about is only existing because it didn’t kill you from the start because you are big and scary
Cats are well known for eating their former owners after they die.

Yeah after at least a week or right before they starve to death themselves, like dogs.

So you have a cat?

I don’t have a cat but I do love cats. I have a healthy respect and understanding with them. If our positions were reversed I’d be nibbling on my human’s ear when they came to check on them!
Dog and Cat meat are entirely legal to eat, it’s just there’s no legal way to acquire them
Disrespecting your ancestors has been a miracle for my cholesterol levels
I’m sure it’s disrespectful to our ancestors if we could work for a livable wage as well. Some of us care a little bit more about future generations.
