While this may be contravertial It needs to be said

While cats are loved by many, a lot of people put them outside, let them become feral, or stray. Both are just as bad as they aren't natural, native, to the land they are in. They kill and kill and kill. While your cat killing something may not to you be seen as a big deal, every other cat does that too. The result is around 60+ species killed off, extinct, no longer existing. All due to cats. And before you say "oh it's just useless rodents" no actually, the species they kill of are avians (birds) and reptiles. (lizards and sneks) while many people say "oh birds they'll poo on the cars" they actually provide fertilization for plants while reptiles take care of insects, and if large enough they even go after some rodents too. That being said to kill them off may seem like nothing but an extinct animal is extinct regardless.

Let me take you to a different species. The iguana, invasive in florida for eating some plants. While they're invasive they're being shot relentlessly. No season no kill per day limit, hell you can kill as many as you see in a day legally and it's more socially acceptable than say killing a cat, although they do far less damage eating some plants than cats do destroying the environment no thanks to humans.

Key point is that invasive animals are not welcome. They're dangerous to the environment and as such are killed nearly on site, again seemingly not applying to cats. All I ask is why...and sympathy towards reptiles which seemingly lack support
