The Bald Eagle And The Cat, Domestic Cats Outside Suffer And Kill Wildlife

There was a video posted on the news regarding a bald eagle bringing back to its nest a dead cat to feed its young. The question was raised whether domestic cats belong outside. Rather then tackle this emotionally charged issue head on, the timid conservationists and so called called animal advocates danced around it. Viewers were warned that some might be disturbed and offended because it was a cat the eagles consumed, instead of a less important creature to many humans such as a rabbit, squirrel, raccoon, and so on. Cats really should not be outside, was the weak knee conservationists' response. One organization, which I consider to be a marketing and money making machine and maximum exploiter of animals with minimal to nothing to show for the millions upon millions of dollars they collect, advised that their organization is full of good ideas how to keep cats entertained indoors, completely ignoring the millions of cats that already live or spend significant time outside, including the millions of house cats whose owners insist roam outside, and feral cats which includes tnr (trap,neuter,release) cats. There is always the fear to not offend donors. The gutless crowd will not be forthright and tell it like it is- cats must not be outside. It is not that they should not be outside; it is that they must not be. They are decimating wildlife. And life for many cats living outside is pure hell. So for wildlife, expect this from humans- we will continue to grow our population unchecked, which means we will continue to develop, decimate and destroy the habitat for wildlife. And we will continue to poison and pollute this planet. We will continue to wage senseless religious wars that destroy lives, waste resources, destroy everything, because we do not have the courage to tell those that kill in the name of religion that we are sick and tired of their stupid excuses for violence and killing and we no longer want, or will allow, them to shove their religion down our throats. We will continue to unleash onto the natural world the nonnative domestic house cat, one of the world's greatest predators, into habitats where the wildlife never evolved defenses. The domestic house cat is wiping out wildlife, and no amount of hysteria from the cat loving crowd will change this reality. If someone really loves animals, they should want the domestic cat safe indoors out of harms way, and not outdoors where they suffer, spread disease to humans and wildlife, and worst of all, kill by the billions song birds and other wildlife. Every time I have raised these points, I get an emotional response, not a fact based response. The name calling and insults get hurled. Grown ups make choices. You are not choosing no kill when you leave cats outside. Instead, you are choosing what should be killed. Leave cats outside, and you are choosing the killing of wildlife. Humans already inflict enough harm upon wildlife. Outside domestic cats, whether feral, part of tnr, or house cats left to roam, should not continue to be an additional, major threat and killer of birds and other wildlife.
