I take him around our neighborhood and to the park. He especially loves the park at night because he can hunt the little bugs or try to find and track the other animals. He's found out where some rats live and some racoons. I don't let him actually tangle with either for obvious reasons.
Its planning on getting a massive welfare infusion for a fake missile defense system it will never be able to make work while the government it now half owns is planning on tariffing most of the leading brands of cars. Meanwhile the only inherently profitable thing it actually does which is to say make cars its doing very poorly at.
Apple is doing incredibly well at selling phones and computers but the Trump administration is not only threatening to tariff stuff made overseas they specifically threatened to tariff iPhones specifically.
So in brief Apple stock is going down despite being great at its business whilst Tesla is on its way back up even as people won't buy their cars. Its just corruption.
She isn't. After this lawsuit he will watch porn if he really wants to. She is wasting a bunch of her money for nothing. Money which she could invest in her family but is setting on fire instead.
Industrial civilization pre-dated me and my cat being from a shelter would have come into being without me. We all do what we can with what control we can. My cat is too stupid to protect himself because he doesn't understand the risk of cars and not speaking english it's difficult to teach him. Instead I choose to explore the outdoors with him instead of letting him roam and almost certainly get lost or killed because I'm not a moron and I don't let my cat wander around a city.
Cats can live 20 years but most wont make it more than 3 outside because their instincts are ill suited for the circumstances.
Yes buddy I did adopt from the shelter I was volunteering at. In order to adopt you have to agree that the cat will not be allowed to roam outdoors because they don't want to adopt to morons.
So I live in an apartment which by virtue of going up uses far less space, I keep my cats indoors and take them on walks outside, and I didn't create a bunch of kids and instead chose to raise one that already existed. You can always do more.
It's a form of nonsense argument where instead of addressing the actual point someone points at something worse and implies that if we can't stop insert worse thing we somehow needn't worry about insert less worse thing. In actuality presumably they have an outdoor cat and are contributing to the problem and just want to justify it.
This is bullshit logic. We as adult humans already exist and have little choice about national housing policy. We can however choose not to contribute to suburban sprawl OR murder cats roaming the neighborhood whacking the wildlife. We can also choose not to have 12 children who will need space too. Not being able to do everything is a poor reason not to do anything.
Your particular circumstances are why YOUR particular 15 year old cat is great hanging in his own yard. It is not an argument in general even that SOME cats ought to be outdoor because they are overwhelmingly get killed and kill out there.
Your argument is so inapplicable to almost anyone else that its like saying your former ax murderer friend is totally safe because he's taken up Buddhism and non-violence and is now mostly crippled.
We cause it both by building over all the habitat AND by letting cats loose. Since I have to live somewhere I won't feel bad about existing but I' also won't be letting my cat out to make it worse. That said that is 99.9% because outdoor cats normally live 2-4 years and indoor cats live 10-20 years. May cat gets to go outside in a strolller/harness and otherwise gets to roam our floor of the apartment.
Some place not being safe is defined as greater than n rate of insert list of bad things per capita.
For most folks 100 in 100k murdered annually is pretty unsafe whereas 5 is pretty safe.
But even if it were 1000 in 100k the other 99k still living could argue its not that bad!
You basically can't go to almost any population center without what the civilized world considers unacceptable risk whereas I can stroll through the "bad" part of my city at 2AM and mostly risk seeing gross people doing drugs.
Mexico is objectively unsafe. Some parts of states are too like st Louis
