Birds and the Cats [View all]

It would be good if so many birds weren't killed by cats. It would also be great if cats were spayed and neutered. There wouldn't be so many cats in shelters or living desperate lives.

However, I am going to save my indignation and protest for a couple of other items:
Pesticides
Pollution

The damage being done to birds and all living things is incalculable. Cats are instinctively going to kill birds. There are no instincts for sh*****g on the entire planet. That's greed.
