Should we eradicate cats in Australia?
Moderator: bbmods
I never edited my original post and stand by it.
This thread is proof enough that those who lean to the left are more likely to have a special place in there hearts for cats and those who lean right prefer dogs.
If you like both then I guess you're likely to be the in the moderate centre.
I guess it all comes down to your ability for tolerance of those who are harder to love or don't reflect the person you see in the mirror.
And what side of politics do we think does a better job of embracing the differences we all have?
Cats are harder to love and much easier to hate than dogs because they display more personality traits and are a better reflection of the complexity of the human psyche due to it.
But alas millions of Australians love them because of this very reason and don't desire a pet that provides them with unquestionable loyalty.
As for Mugwump he is the one who delivered the initial rather insulting claim that if you're a cat owner you must be only doing so in sufferance of not being in a position to own a dog.
As I then rightly pointed out this says more about him because the actual reality is that millions of Australians love the company that a cat provides and would never exchange them for a dog.
He has since acted like a petulant child trying to portray himself as the victim continually offering snide remarks about me when in reality he was simply called out on his rather narrow minded belief on millions of Australians.
Anyway I've now had my right of reply and will move on.
I suggest he do the same

Since the OP has been questioned, I'd like to clarify a point for those who commented without reading it.
Eradicating cats means putting down all non de-sexed cats to ensure there is no breeding population left in the country from which feral cats can come.
I did propose that cat lovers could still buy a neutered cat from overseas breeders, if that's what they need. If all cats had to be imported neutered, and lets add microchipped to the owner, irresponsible owners would have their licence to import a cat revoked if it was found roaming, but because it couldn't breed the risk of ferals goes away.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

The premise of left v right and cat v dog is just utter bullshit. Some may call it typical leftist deflection, but that's too obvious.
You don't have to hate cats (and I don't) to have enough brains to recognise that as an introduced predator they are causing carnage to the native fauna and more needs to be done to control this pest that does more damage than rabbits, foxes and cane toads combined.
