Australia wants to force cats to stay inside or give them a curfew because they are murdering so many other animals they are a threat to the country's biodiversity
www.insider.com
Cats are present in 99.9% of all land in Australia and kill about two billion other animals a year. That makes them Australia's most invasive species.

    Before hexbear: Caging cats indoors is animal abuse and ought not to be tolerated, since it is specicist!

    After hexbear: Allowing cats - dangerous outdoor predators - outside ought not to be tolerated, it is animal abuse, murder and specicist!

    Honestly try not to buy animals, okay?

      There's a middle ground between caging and letting cats run outside where they're likely to be hurt.

        It isn't about the cats getting hurt though (it is about them killing) and flats aren't large enough to be considered acceptable housing for cats in my opinion.

          Maybe not to you, but I'm pretty unhappy that cats are getting hit by cars and attacked by large carnivores.
