If you got a problem with Canadian Gooses, you got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate

The current landowners have the entire supply. They tear down all the affordable housing on campus. A few developers then control all rentals on campus which enables them to inflate the demand artificially. That’s not a free market. That’s a cartel of corruption.
Were you in a two bedroom one bathroom apartment shared between 4 people with each paying $700+utilities with no laundry? Cause that’s how it works on the campus that I went to. Exploitative rent is evil.
Filter Trump and Musk. It’s less than 1 in 20 after that.
I don’t have access to the same network of third world slaves that Starbucks does.
Banks frequently do.
I don’t understand your point. I’m saying the effects of an inhospitable winter environment does quite a bit of the dirty work for keeping feral cat populations in check. Were you agreeing with me?
My cat is far more than literally thousands of wild birds to me. It’s either let my cat play outside or put her down. What do you think I should do?
Dogs can’t because they present a danger to humans. That’s the clear difference.
I’m not just being difficult. My wife was a trainer at the human society for years. We know the stuff and have tried to do it. I value my cat more then wild birds and rodents, and my wife does taxidermy for whatever she brings back.
My cat broke her first harness, slipped out of her second, and now she flails whenever we try to come near her with a harness. We’ve tried walking, but she refuses to move. You don’t know my cat, and you don’t seem to realize that this won’t make her happy.
Local ecosystem destruction is a moot argument because we had multiple feral cats in our yard every night when we moved in, and now we have none. We have fewer cats total in our yard.
At the end of the day, she’s 14 and will start slowing down soon. If she dies, she lived a great life. My last outdoor cat was 20 years old. I get long living cats who are happy by just letting them be cats.
Dogs kill 25,000 people annually. How many do housecats kill? It’s not a 1-to-1 comparison.
My cat throws herself through the doorway as soon as anyone gets home. She will chew through window screens. She breaks the catio whenever we put it up. If we don’t let her out, she will scream non-stop all night. She will fight with the other animals. She will resent us if we don’t let her out. When, not if, she does get out, she’ll stay away for longer if we haven’t been letting her out. She’ll disappear for days.
Meanwhile, if I let her out, she will usually sit on the patio or patrol the yard at night. She kills vermin such as voles, moles, and rats. She is territorial about our yard such that she has managed to push the colony of feral cats out of my yard. She gets regular checkups along with flea and tick treatment. She is 14 and happier than she’s ever been. I’m going to let her live her best life.
That cat better be the size of a cougar
It definitely culls our local population.
Birds and people are the same, so I see your point
Worth a shot. That’s why domestic cats exist.
In Minnesota, we let five months of inhospitable winter do the dirty work for us.
It’s almost like cats and dogs are different animals or something.
