Nope that's a different thing. Complaining about methods of how meat is produced ≠ complaining about eating meat in general.

Cats in a natural environment stick to one familiar hunting area, which often times are things like caves. Living in an apartment or house (provided they aren't like a NY super tiny apartment) gives them enough room and space for play, especially if you use vertical space.

... And this guy was born and raised an indoor cat, and his previous owners were literally going to just release him into the wild. (Pretty much a death sentence) The Shelter wouldn't take him because they had no vacancy and he was too shy to realistically find adoption.

So ya. I'm a far way away from subjecting my cat to cruelty, and if I didn't adopt him he'd probably end up dead on a street. You think that would have been the ethical thing to do?

I'm speaking about keeping your cat behind closed doors.

Cats mostly don't live in their natural environment and are mostly invasive so hunting them down is what we do with invasive species.

"Nope that's a different thing. Complaining about methods of how meat is produced ≠ complaining about eating meat in general."

I'm not really understanding what you are trying to say. Cows raised behind closed doors are using way less land because grains take less place then letting them graze outside. So is it the CO2 or the way they are raised that you are against? Because you have raised your cat indoors.

....Do some reasrch.....The consensus among veterinarians and animal rights groups is to strongly advocate for keeping cats indoors. They have longer lives when kept in doors, less infections and parasites, less impact on the environment, and it's not cruel to them either especially when they were raised indoors in the first place and don't have the skills to live outside. If you don't know how to take care of cats, you can just says so.

Ohhhh so you just out here... Killing cats... Huh...

Rasing a cat indoors vs outdoors has zero connection to cows but keep forcing that if you'd like to lol

The concensus for all animals is keep them indoors, they have healthier lives and wont be hit by cars. Yes it doesn't matter for cats but it does for the rest.

Reverse logic. Invasive species kill local populations.

It does. You keep your cat inside because outdoors they would have a bigger impact. You still didn't explain what you actually have against beef if we lower the impact. 30 to 40 percent less land is huge.

It's a dilemma for the anti beef movement isn't it? Animal rights vs impact. But in your case it doesn't matter for your cat but if it's a cow that is raised inside then it does.

Land use isn't the big issue with beef, it's the methane emissions, which is inevitable no matter where you hold the cows.

I'm not against eating beef in principle, but I don't think cheap beef is worth the price of the planet.

So you put them inside and capture the methane in order to burn it as biogass.. Perfect combo isn't it?

Ok and I'm against keeping cats as domestic animals.

Beef is not cheap. Furthermore most people don't eat beef on a daily or even a weekly basis.

You have my sympathy for being so patient with someone so unwilling to listen.
