Mankind's Deadliest Biological Weapon

You just know that a cat took a shit on the OP's bed one time in their life...

One can only hope.

man that would be awful.. but would prefer a poo than piss. argh.

Wouldn't this problem be partially mitigated if people stopped feeling it was acceptable to just let your cat roam wherever it pleases? I mean, people don't do the same with dogs.

Actually a lot of people do do it with dogs. Which is worse, because cats will only attack people in self defense.

But still I agree. I have two cats. But they only go outside on a leash.

If you have a farm the cat needs to roam free. Otherwise keep them indoors, in a fenced area or on a leash. Same should be done with dogs. Admittedly cats are harder to keep in a fenced yard because they can easily defeat most fences. But “invisible” fences still work, and cat resistant fencing is an option.

Pee tends to legitimately ruin furniture if you don't catch it in time, especially cat pee which will make it never smell the same way again.

It's generally illegal to let your dogs roam at large. That's what I was getting at.

Fair enough. I agree both dogs and cats should be restricted from just randomly roaming in most cases, though dogs are far more dangerous to people.

What do y'all think should be done about the biological menace this is the cat?

I love cats. They're cute, affectionate, little murderers.

Where I live, cats are one of the main predators of native birds, and therefore I'm in favour of having a ban on cat ownership around protected areas to give native birds a chance to expand beyond these areas and establish more stable populations.

After countless white supremacist, pro-fascist and other politically extremist posts, NS forums swoop to a new low: advocating for the mass exterminations of cats.

What brave and radical opinions will this haven of free speech bring a few months from now? Dog cooking and eating?

Been there, done that, as well as a thread on exterminating all dogs.

Cannibalism

I've never seen it, but it might have happened.

Human slavery?

Oh, that gets advocated for all the time. We've had threads on it.

The possibilities are endless.

Welcome to NSG.

[Olthar]

I would be in favor of restrictions on outdoor cats and public funding for catching strays for spaying/neutering, but cat death squads are unnecessary and barbaric.

[Thermodolia]

Why do it by half measures? .50 BMG. Even more painless.

No, a 57 mm recoiless would probably be even quicker and more painless.

Just go ahead a shell the general area with 45cm naval guns

.50 BMG? Pfft.
Use this instead.

A real recoiless gun. Non of that pansy crap.

I’d rather not have Irradiated zombie cats

Nsg should stop takeing drugs and go to bed

I love doggos and cats

Mass extermantion of cats is stupid

Well not all cats. It could be done with feral cats if there were targeted policies towards dealing with the feral cat problem, especially in places like Australia where they're growing big enough that people are confusing them for panthers.

Does this look like mankind's deadliest biological weapon to you?

I stared at that for a full minute waiting for something to happen before I realized that it wasn't a gif.

It may come as a shock to most people, but cats are on par with, and in some areas even more dangerous than, humans in terms of environmental destruction. Cats are, but definition, an invasive species everywhere they are present, with the exception of Egypt ( their original ecosystem ). To give a scope of just how destructive cats are to our ecosystem, here are some facts: In 2013, it was estimated that cats killed between 1.3 - 4 billion birds annually, as well as between 6.3-22.3 billion mammals annually ( With the most conservative of estimates, cats kill more birds each year then every hunter in the world combined ); cats have been confirmed to have killed at least 33 species, and are a primary threat to another 36 endangered species; cats are known to spread disease, notably the Toxoplasma gondii parasite, which has killed not only millions of animals but even has begun to affect humans as well; It's not simply feral cats who are to blame for these rash of killings either, with even pets reported to be killing around 2 animals per week, with feral cats killing even more.

It's not a popular opinion, on account of the affection with which the general population views cats with, but it may prove necessary to actively start regulating the cat population so as to mitigate their effect upon the environment ( particularly feral cats ). TNR, trap-neuter-return, is being used by a number of communities in order to mitigate their feral cat population via sterilization. TNR has hadmixed results, with many researchers expressing doubts as to it's effectiveness on account of needing to sterilize around 75% of the population in order for any program to be effective. Some have suggested mandates to keep felines inside during night time, fines for abandoning cats, the legalization of eating cats, legal protection against suits for cats killed on private property, legalization of drowning kittens, legalization of cat traps, and even active campaigns to exterminate feral cats.

What do y'all think should be done about the biological menace this is the cat?

Personally, I am all for feline death squads. Cats are an incredibly invasive species everywhere they go, and their effect upon the local ecosystem needs to be curved by limiting their numbers and when they can go outdoors. I am all for the proactive measures listed above.

what about dogs?

That would be my cat, who likes to perch himself on the edge of the bathtub.

We will be dumping all dogs and cats in your immediate vicinity

thats purrfect . but this hairball scheme is only scratching the surface and hasnt got snowballs chance of getting within a whisker of succeeding.
