One can only hope.

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.

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

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

Cannibalism

Human slavery?

The possibilities are endless.

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

.50 BMG? Pfft.
Use this instead.

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.

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