  • Conservatives love the quote "the shrub of freedom needs to be watered with the blood of parrots from a time to another time", so they've got a healthy dosage of normalizing violence.

    They also LARP about Rome, which had a long and storied tradition of assassination. Famously, citizens of the republic were encouraged to strangle anyone who tried to become King... right up until they didn't.

    Anyway, the Romans weren't always monsters; they just usually were.

  • The penalty will amount to several thousand dollars. Especially in NYC.

    It's predatory as shit.

    3rd party towing and "storage fees" should be illegal. It should be operated by the city and the parking ticket should pay for the cost the city goes through (not funding the cops)

  • Please be serious. I read the source that I posted; you're not being clever. Cats don't magically show up from nowhere. Our culture around cats enables and feeds the feral population. If we didn't keep cats as pets, and animal control treated them the same way they treat raccoons, then this problem would be dramatically reduced. Probably eliminated, but they might turn into an intractable urban pest.

    ! We estimate that free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually. Un-owned cats, as opposed to owned pets, cause the majority of this mortality. Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic mortality for US birds and mammals. !<

    Unless, of course, you're saying that we shouldn't stop one bad thing because we do other bad things.

    We should rethink our attachments to miniature tigers.

  • True, ethical adoption is an option.

    But then I always ran into the issue with how to feed the cute little monsters, which is what this drama is about.

    Honestly, it's easier to not have a cat. Plus I'm allergic, so...

  • Sounds like a challenge!

    NATO is a defensive alliance and the Israeli government is filled with war criminals who need to be thrown in the Hauge

    Edit: To the instance-blocked guy who replied that "Thrown in the Hauge" has a weird energy:

    Fine, I missed a capital letter. But also: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hague_Penitentiary_Institution
