That dog only fetched the shot bird. A noble task to prevent wastage and provide a meal for their family.

A cat kills with unrelenting joy and commits the act of murder with little to no thought. More often than not the cat will kill simply because it enjoys killing. Animals cannot commit acts of evil, but the sheer joy a cat experiences while killing endangered song birds come suspiciously close.
>>
>>4932355
Cats are not special in that regard. Every predator delights in killing, a single loose dog can destroy an entire flock of sheep for fun. A fox in a henhouse will kill and maim every single hen so will a weasel. Crows and magpies also destroy whole nests of songbirds but they are universaly loved for some reason.
>>
>>4932364
A cat is special in only one regard. How remarkably unspecial it truly is.
>>
>>4932367
They are remarkable in making great pets.

If you want a truly evil incarnate, it has to be the crow that carves out the eyes of ewes as they lay giving birth.
>>
>>4932382
I would say that they are more like living furniture and occasionally a bed warmer.

The crows are eating the lambs. Cats have made hundreds if not thousands of species of birds and reptiles go extinct merely for the thrill of the hunt.
>>
>>4932399
less than 70 total species can be (partialy) blamed on cats
>>
>>4932411
4 billion birds and 22 billion mammals annually in the US.

They're basically the nazis of the animal kingdom.
>>
>>4932415
Some of those estimates exceed actual bird populations. Enviromentalists love to exaggerate.
>>
>>4932417
I forgot to say up to, but I could believe it. I think it was 1.2 billion to 4 billion for birds.
>>
>>4932418
desu I can believe it too there being 80 million cats
there are just too many damn cats, a single outdoor cat only kills something like 10-20 birds a year
not realy super bloodthirsty predator numbers
>>
>>4932423
30 birds and 250 mammals. Close to one kill per day. They would kill so much more if only they could.
>>
>>4932424
>1 tiny animal per day
kek
meanwhile actual bloodthirsty predators:

Cats are inferior to just about every living animal and yet they cause so much pain and destruction.
>>
>>4932436
Cats don’t. Cats are not conscious actors. They are dumber than bricks. Only a low IQ ape would blame a dog for killing some dumb chickens, after all. I would never harm a dog over chickens. I am a human who knows better. Chickens are fucking free. Dogs have emotional value. I don’t care what animals do to each other, i care about what HUMANS do to prevent it or not and whether or not they repay me.

The culpable parties are
>people who do not spay and neuter cats
>people who argue that not letting cats out is abusive or inviting a rat plague or other dumb shit
>people who casually let cats out to avoid taking care of them properly
All of these people owe the owners of wildlife (states) significant compensation.

>hysteria
they are just a dumb small predator
blame humans for letting them out

dogs turn small animals and fledgelings into chew toys with just as much delight, except people keep them contained better, so they only kill the birds in their own yards

>CATS ARE SO LE EVIL
>no they're not other animals do that
>LOL CATS ARE SO INFERIOR
repeat ad nauseam, do you get tired of being so retarded? why not just admit you hate cats because you're a mentally ill pajeet instead of giving it a pseudo-rational whiny pretense
>>4932440
oh boy it's the deboonker schizo
fighting the good fight against the aryan cat gods while gritting your teeth to larp as a sane person without a deep seated vendetta against an animal?

all of you are niggers and your barneyfag-tier obsession with cats has derailed this entire board, much like the you say cats should the mentally ill should be fed to large birds and the humans responsible (the immense faggots pretending to be our mod team) beaten for not dealing with you lesser beings. It's all so tiresome

Question. When it's cold, about freezing point, birds shit ALL over the fucking place. I can't walk anywhere before stepping in some loogy. Why is this? It's mostly corvidae in a city.
