      With all due respect, fuck anyone that has an unneutered cat. Or anyone that lets a cat outdoors period. Sorry your cute little fluffball hunts for sport and can kill literally tens of thousands of birds and small mammals and reptiles per year PER SINGULAR CAT.

      Domestic house cats are more destructive to wildlife than nearly any other human activity.

      Fuck Australia because we control destructive pests? Righto, guess we should let them destroy the native wild life to this country. We do the same with kangaroo, fox and wild pig populations. Should we also just let them destroy crops and farmland?

      Nah but fuck an entire country for doing something that likely happens in your own country. Super reasonable and mature take.
