I have 2 cats but they weren't born because of me. They're from a shelter. They can freely roam the woods behind my house and of course they kill a lot of mice (and a few birds).
The other alternatives would be keeping them locked up for life and feeding them cat food from industrialized animal farms, or putting them to sleep. I don't think those alternatives would be more ethical.
So you let your cat out to exterminate local wildlife
And you call keeping them inside away from local wildlife that they can exterminate unethical
yes
