Ah yes, the non US cat, way different, doesn’t kill animals in droves for fun, sorry, my bad. Justify it however you want doesn’t change the fact that loose domesticated cats are detrimental to the wildlife in the area.
As I mentioned, our cats kill about 3 mice a year. I live in the middle of town. Not much prey to speak of. How harmful cats are to the environment depends on the environment. In many cases, it’s absolutely fine to let them go outside.
The effect that has on the animal population around your house is pretty devastating
Why? Because of the 3 mice they kill a year?
