All right, you've moved the goalposts pretty far. A feral dog being more dangerous to humans than a cat doesn't mean they're a more inherently aggressive animal like the person I was replying to said.
I'm just saying that "aggressive" in terms of a cat vs in terms of a dog are two wildly different things. Idgaf if a cat eats a bird or a bug but I do care about people being mauled by dogs.
Hell, I eat birds too, can't get that mad at it. I don't maul people though.
Yeah...so you've moved the goalposts to counter a point I didn't make...
You're moving it again with the "I eat birds too" part. You SHOULD give a fuck about what cats do to wildlife. And to be clear, they aren't eating the birds. They're killing for fun.
Depends, owned cats kill for fun because their food needs are met, but again, if a bird gets in my house, somehow, "Get it! And don't eat it it could have parasites." It's usually bugs though. And you shouldn't let cats out that you own. Strays absolutely eat the birds, they're not pulling heists on kibble trucks, they hunt for their food. Strays however are wild animals, owls also hunt mice, it's how wild carnivores survive, it's the circle of life. Survival != aggression. And again, the point I'm making, is that even when cats are aggressive the consequences are less severe than dogs. You can refuse to acknowledge why that is relevant to the conversation all you wish but that doesn't change the fact that it is relevant.
I don't think this conversation warrants any further discussion as we just keep repeating the same things due to your refusal to accept the relevance of my point, and am declining to continue, this will be the last time I repeat myself. Good day.
