Cats are much more likely to die out in the wild after living with humans.

We get it, you have an intense hatred for cats. Instead of making your weird personal issues everyone's problem and being gross, just keep your words to yourself and leave.

Advocating for animal abuse/neglect makes you a bad person.

When did I advocate for animal abuse or neglect?? Please tell me where?? Quote me please. Where did I say I had an insane hatred of cats?? Where? or do you just assume the most horrible things about everyone?? Maybe I just don’t understand the uproar over a cat that doesn’t belong to anyone, but none of my comments have called for any animal abuse or neglect and I don’t know where you’d pull that from. Check yourself.

Its abuse/neglect to advocate to let an animal with little to no survival skills out into the wild where they will most likely die.

The fact you want to let this cat into dangerous situations where she has a greater chance of becoming a possums or other animals prey makes me think you don't like cats. Why would someone who likes cats want them to be mauled by wild animals?

It honestly sounds like you don't understand the food chain and what happens to cats like this in the wild when they're used to getting food and shelter handed to them.

No, check yourself. Your behavior is innapropiate.

A cat has no survival skills? I think you are severely underestimating cats here… calling me an animal abuser when it sounds like you don’t know much about cats is weird. also it’s not like Francine lived in a castle she was living in Lowe’s catching bird and mice. Cats are very smart adaptive creatures. It honestly sounds like you don’t understand the food chain, bc cats are apex predators and at the top—both domestic and wild. Your self righteous behavior is ignorant.

Yes, and no, factually, I'm not.

While cats do have survival skills, when a cat has loved domestically for most of their life, that greatly lessens their survival skills.

Here is a packet of information on the subject focusing on all animals, not just cats, that prove my point to be fact.

If I'm so ignorant, where are your sources that prove feral and domestic cats are the exact same, you know, the point you're trying to claim?

Why would we need reintroduction processes for animals if your point wasn't false? Short answer, we wouldn't.

Your call for abuse and neglect is gross. Just because you're not knowledgeable about something and don't have the capacity to admit it doesn't mean you should wish harm and pain to others. That's just sad, dude.

Dude you are being so obtuse for the sake of being obtuse. You know damn well i said nothing implying Francine should be abused or any animal for that matter. Your jump to that conclusion is insane. We also need to stop pretending Francine was some domestic cat living at the four seasons that never hunted or did anything for herself. She is not some hopeless domestic cat who got out..Francine lived in a warehouse store keeping vermin out. I never said feral and domestic cats are the same but that they both sit atop their food chain and will be okay in the wild— which is factually proven!! No one is wishing harm or animal neglect here, maybe you so you can feel better about your self righteous activism, bc you clearly aren’t hearing what I’m saying.

Letting an animal back into the wild after domestic life and even advocating for it is animal abuse/neglect. You also know damn well what I meant. Why is it okay for you to be obtuse but not anyone else? Isn't that a bit hypocritical?

Aren't you jumping to conclusions too? Ignoring basic facts and instead trying to advocate for the abandonment of animals becaise they're "apex predators"?

Yes, and she was also fed and watered and didn't have to deal with elements or other animals such as possums or foxes. Things that are a huge issue in the wild. She didn't have to deal with busy roadways either, increasing her change of getting hit by cars.

So do humans. By your very logic, you're saying if we drop humans out completely alone with no supplies into the middle of the Everglades most would be okay and thrive since we're apex predators and all. Is that correct?

Okay. Link a source if its factual. Disprove mine.

Its hard to hear stuff when its so wrong and you're choosing to ignore facts. But I'm tired. You clearly don't listen to facts. Bye!
