What is your stance on outdoor cats?
Interesting topic, I have to say that I have not thought a lot about it even though I'm a sentientist vegan. I think the fact that cats usually kill a lot of other sentient animals when outdoors is a problem for me. I would much prefer people not to continue breeding animals and keep aeimals just for their own pleasure as I think it causes a lot of issues.
I would much prefer cats to be kept indoor and fed a well formulated and supplemented plant based diet as from my research I did not see any indication it cannot be done. I would also prefer cats to be sterilized as I think it's one of the less cruel way to prevent the population from exploding due to the facts we breed them with no care for them or the other non human animals.
However I have no idea whether it is a problem for cats to be kept indoor their entire lives, do you have resources on this subject?
haha no, I was just referencing a huge struggle session early on in the site's history that nearly tore the site apart.
