individuals adopting troubled animals isn’t a good enough solution a lot of those animals have additional care requirements outside the capabilities of the average pet owner. What should be done is establish shelters with people actually trained to care for abused animals and make those shelters nice places.
You’re misunderstanding me. When people buy pets, they support an industry that creates homeless animals and destroys the pets once they’re no longer young and cute.
what if instead of exterminating the outdoor cats we rounded them all up and kept them indoors from then on
I hope this doesn’t cause a struggle session. But animals shouldn’t be bred for profit or a posh hobby when heaps of homeless cats and dogs exist.

that’s just a cat gulag
we need to respect the bird’s agency in their own struggle and arm them against the cats
There’s birds of prey that eat cats, but I think that’d be even worse for small bird populations.
