      Strip mines? Highways? What?

      I’m not sure what you are going for? If I am reading this correctly, you are saying farm cause strip mines?

      Yeah… not going to debate this with you if you are spouting nonsense

          So Strawman or whataboutism (too tired to decide which one of those). Your debating techniques need some work, my friend.

          How do you know I haven’t addressed these things in my life?

          Either way, the best one can realistically do is to minimize harm. I don’t think allowing your cat out is minimizing harm. In fact, since you are actively choosing it, I would argue that it is worse than secondary or tertiary knock on effects. It might not have the same level of impact, but you are vehemently defending it. That’s much worse on my opinion

              Your example of the calamity of the fly and spider can be applied broadly to other scenarios like strip mining. Same with you can’t save them all. You are being hypocritical.

              Dude, cats don’t know if you just keep them inside. You are actively choosing to hurt animals around you, that’s callous and selfish. Cats aren’t more important than other animals (I’d argue that non-native cats are lesser than native local animals).

              Your argument is basically you bending logic, facts, etc to suit your point of view. Don’t be so entrenched.

              Anyway, this is my last reply because you are behaving irrationally. It’s not that you won, it’s that I don’t care about someone who is so callous to animals.
