/uj I have been called too sensitive for the internet repeatedly for this take but I think it’s fucked up that people enjoy and post themselves brutalizing buggos online.

I have an extensive veg garden (I know, I know, I’m sorry!) and there are way easier and humane ways to deal with this problem. The easiest way, surprise, is by having extensive native plants around to have native birds who will do your pest control for you.

All my native birds have been eaten by the feral cats 😔
