How do we deal with this issue?
>>2160100
Do like what they did with Rabbits in Australia. Make a disease that kills domestic cats quickly.
>>2160105
We must perfect this disease for the good of the natural species
>>2160100
I've got a pellet rifle I use to shoot any fucking cat I find in my back yard. They usually don't come back.
I've got no problem with cats...unless they're running wild on my property.
Wait what's wrong with outdoor cats?
>>2160145
Jfc read the goddamn link.
>>2160145
Cats that are domesticated, that is cats with a home and owners, don't kill for food. They kill for fun, they kill because they can, and they kill indiscriminately. One stray cat can produce a litter of more strays, which in turn can produce more, and so on. Cats have no true natural predator (other than large birds of prey I guess), and they can wipe out an indigenous species with little effort.

just natural selection
Khajiit did nothing wrong!
Train housecats to attack stray cats with the art of Muay Thai, then equip them with special razor mittens.
>>2160100
We start rewarding individual citizens a cash reward for each cat they eliminate.
1 dollar for full grown, 2 dollars for kittens.
We eliminate the cat problem and also occupy the time of more vicious humans. The environment and society both win.
>>2160338
Like with horses, won't work in the US because bleeding hearts. I love cats but they don't belong roaming around here.
Feral horses fuck up shit too but we can't cull them because muh majestic creatures.

>>2160220
>Cats have no true natural predator (other than large birds of prey I guess)
Proof you don't know shit about what you're talking about. Birds rarely if ever will prey on an adult cat. Coyotes, big cats, any large predatory mammal will readily eat cats.
Maybe this?

Even if you get the unbranded garbage, the cost of food for a "cat farm" would be way too expensive to make a genuine profit.
>>2160417
I say a disease to quickly cull horses and cats. That way, once released it's fucking done. People can bitch but there's nothing they could do. Then people who don't vaccinate and shouldn't be owning animals will also no longer have animals. Probably do a good number to the pet overpopulation issue. It's a win-win-win. Bunnies are cute and the Aussies managed it.
My indoor outdoor cat goes out for about 2 hours a day and brings me a dead rabbit atleast twice a week
Which is great because we have an estimated 3 thousand rabbits in my neighborhood and rabbit season is unlimited
>>2160497
>Fuck off, horses are wild animals and less invasive a species than you are
Feral horses are not wild animals. They don't cause problems where actual wild horses used to live bit they do as introduced species. Stop being dumb.
>>2160615
Sounds shitty, honestly. Horses are big animals and since they mainly live in groups, it'd just be easier to shoot them. You could still eat them, too. We donate deer meat here and horse meat is perfectly good meat.
Even if there was a vaccine, I'm pretty sure introducing a biological weapon isn't all that simple. You'd also have to consider whether or not it would effect other animals. Birds especially.
>>2160440
>Birds rarely if ever will prey on an adult cat.
True
>Coyotes, big cats, any large predatory mammal will readily eat cats.
Assuming one lives near them? Yeah.
a lot of places probably lack those, though, genius. Even if they're around that's no assurance cats aren't an issue, they're pretty commonly stray in farming communities and suburbs.
Which is at least half the country thanks to the Midwest, and suburbs are fucking everywhere.
Mountain lions don't exactly stroll through the average suburb hunting cats.
They're a problem, anon, accept it.

considering toxoplasmosis is dangerous to babies and linked to schizophrenia and other mental disorders and half of the population is infected with it cats probably kill more humans than dogs do just by being alive.

Cats aren't a problem.
White humans are.
They aren't indigenous to North America.
Give every negro who can prove they're descended from a slave and every native american at least two free firearms, including a sniper rifle and at least 300 rounds each... problem solved.

Was a hard lesson to learn when we first moved here. We lost a good four cats before we quit getting new ones. We stopped letting them outside and even trained them to be terrified of the outside, but curiosity always got the better of em. I found one of the corpses myself when I was a kid. Still remember that facial expression with her guts torn up.
Its been years since then, and I dont really like cats anymore.

Though I welcome the idea of sub-humans hearding together in attempted aggression.
Like the cats you subhumans let wander- -your ilk can do with yet another culling.

>>2162221
I'm white, you pathetic moron.
You disgrace my race.
>>2161903
When you shitty skin morons plant a flag on the moon, then you can talk shit.
Till then, work on indoor plumbing...
1). Cull wild cat populations especially those present on islands.
2). Encourage pet owners to keep their cats indoors.
3). Create habitat for at risk species.
4). Monitor cat populations to insure they don't rebound.
Culling is by far the most cost-effective method. IMO cats should always be kept indoors or supervised by their owners when outside. It's too bad animal rights organizations are strongly opposed to culling.
>>2162292
I'm sorry, what flag have you planted on the moon as of recent? You sit on the internet and argue with non-whites on the internet about why white people who accomplished shit are good.
You're like a cuck.

>kill pest animals that shit all over everything, get into food and spread disease
>CATS ARE SATAN
kill yourselves
I need to know if this is an issue really a global plague or is it in a select few regions where cats cant get hunted by larger carnivores because their are none?
>>2160779
A problem? Are you well? -Cats keep down the pests like rats and other pesky animals that love to undermine the very foundation of our homes and houses. We should have cats trained specifically to exterminate the vermintide.
>>2162601
if you're having issues with vermin try storing your food properly.
cats don't keep any pests down, they are a pest, you're better off dealing with rats than with cats.
>>2162603
>you're better off dealing with rats than with cats.
Cat's are a pest but nowhere near as bad as rats.
>>2160100
idk
>>2162607
>nowhere near as bad as rats.
cats are worse in every aspect.
rats are literally a non-issue if you're not a complete dumbwit, if you've got no food for them laying around they're not there.
reminder that the 'pests' your cat kills aren't actually a pest, they're native animals.
without those rats your birds of prey would be starving.
>>2162711
You really dislike cats don't you?
>>2162722
im ok with cats as long as they're indoors.
every gardener hates outdoor cats.

Because when given the choice between native wildlife that is a much easier catch and pest species that have evolved alongside cats and adapted to avoid them, cats will choose the much harder to hunt rats and mice, right?
Wrong, cats will obviously more often go after and successfully kill native species which have absolutely no adaptive defenses against them.
This is why rats and mice become even MORE prevalent in areas with free-roaming cats. After the cats start wiping out the native rodents, the pest rodents move in the fill the open niche.
Identification of 68 prey items returned by cats indicated that 67% of 26 rodents, 95% of 21 birds and 100% of 11 lizards were native species
In addition, over 85 percent of the native deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) and harvest mice (Reinthrodontomys megalotis) trapped were in the no cat area, whereas 79 percent of the house mice (Mus musculus), which is an exotic species to California and considered as pest, were found in the cat area. According to Hawkins (1998) “cats at artificially high densities, sustained by supplemental feeding, reduce abundance of native rodent and bird populations, change the rodent species composition, and may facilitate the expansion of the house mouse into new areas...” (Hawkins, 1998).

They're killing a lot of dumb birds and rodents and apparently that's a big deal.
>>2160100
Remove humans. The problems that humans cause to the environment will NEVER be fixed so long as there are billions of literal retards who won't allow positive change to occur. Reining in feral cats will NEVER happen short of human genocide or some sort of environmentalist dictatorship.

Back in my old shit hick town, we had roving packs of domesticated dogs turned wild, from the damn ghettos and hillbillies letting them run lose and never coming back, one kid got his ear and half his face damn near torn off and then his hands fucked up. Cats will haul ass if you come near them, btw, fuck rodents and snakes, and whatever else cats eat, boo hoo, mah rats and mice are being killed off. Here's a solid question, what was the connection and what happened to cats in/during the Medieval Times, Black Plague and the explosion in rodent (mice/rats) populations again?
>>2162955

It's western hedonistic nature, so long as they can pet it every once in a while it's ok what damage it does.
They're just birds and rodents, what's the big deal? At least cats aren't killing humans like dogs are.
i dont know why people still so vehemently defend their outdoor cats when theres so much information online opposing outdoor cats.
>>2164403
The final argument they have is "l-lel I don't even care about birds and shit though so you can't touch me".
And even that doesn't negate the fact that cats should not be an exception to the laws that govern all other pets: keep them safe on your own property.
It should be illegal to let your cat free-roam off of your property, the same way that it is illegal and heavily enforced for dogs. It should also be legal for people to humanely kill free-roaming cats that they find on their property, the same way you can kill other pest species like rats and mice.
Or if you suspect them to be a pet and not feral, you can take them to a shelter where they can hopefully be rehomed to someone who cares about them enough to keep them out of danger.
Letting cats free-roam should be treated as animal neglect and endangerment honestly.
>>2164223
Whats happening in modern times with shitty cats killing everything
>>2160100
This makes me so pissed. I don't like cats and I love birds, and shitty owners that think it's "cute" when their cat kills a bird make me fucking sick to my stomach.
NPR did some sob story about this a few months ago. Some retards with nothing going on in their lives started feeding feral cats and attracting them into town. Then the town's songbird population took a huge dive and tons of feral cats were running all over town shitting, dying, fucking, etc. The town banned feeding the cats and all the dumbass cat-lovers threw a huge bitch fit about how "unfair" it was and how all the cats would die. Then the city council overturned the ban and all the cat-lovers got all smug about it.
I swear to God, cat-lovers make me sick. They don't give a shit about the huge harm cats do to the local ecosystem, they just think feral, diseased cats are cute for some bullshit reason.
There are countless studies out there about how cats hunt the surrounding areas into a wasteland. Not only that, they rarely eat the whole carcass - especially if retards are giving them cat food as well - so then your town has to deal with tons of dead birds, skunks, opossums, etc as well as tons of dead cats and their shit and piss.
>>2160100
Beat the shit out of the one neighbor that leaves food for them outside?
Any outdoor cats that end up on my property I take care of myself. Everyone should do the same, then their dumbfuck owners would finally learn to keep them inside
>people actually think that letting your cat outside is wrong for no reason and that a cat killing a mouse is somehow something bad
wow
>>2165499
Cats killing millions of birds is terrible. It's unnatural, they are an invasive species. If you can't keep your disgusting animal out of my yard, it's your fault that it's dead.
