          Whataboutism at its finest.

          Doesn’t matter what wild animals do. Your domesticated animal should not be allowed to kill indiscriminately. What you see the cat bring back isn’t the full total of its destruction.

          Your cat will also push out other predators and has no need to compete for resources with wild animals.

              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
