You... You think somebody let's moles onto people's yards?

How do you misunderstand my comment this badly? No, but people are letting cats into people's yards. Cats, like moles, are pests, and homeowners can deal with them like any other pests.

If you want to protect a mole, don't let it into someone's yard. If you want to protect a cat, don't let it into someone's yard.

A pest is just an animal doing it's animal thing.

Yes, and cats doing cat things makes them pests.

It's humans that think their thought up idea of property gives them the right to kill another beeing.

I just watched my cat torture a mouse the other day. Bit down on its head and popped it's eye, opened its gut, and left it twitching on the floor. Why do you think humans have a monopoly on killing animals? At least we have some justification for it, and typically try to do it quickly and painlessly.

Don't get me wrong—I'm not in favor of killing cats. I'm actually in favor of their survival, which is why I'm saying that you shouldn't let it wander off unsupervised into a place where it's likely to get killed.
