When apes learned to sharpen sticks, every other animal was FUUUUUUUUUCKED. Those animals should try not to be so stupid though. Dogs and cats are smart. They joined our side.

Humans made dogs!

Going strong for over 30,000 years.

Dogs and cats are half the fucking problem.

Explain.

A recent study by the Smithsonian Institution and the US Fish and Wildlife Service estimated that domestic cats kill about 2.4 billion birds and 12.3 billion small mammals each year in the lower forty-eight states. This is far higher—and probably more accurate–than previous figures, and likely exceeds all other sources of human-related losses of these animals.

I'm not sure we are in the same conversation, brother. I said that cats benefited from befriending humanity. You seem to be posting statistics that argue in my favor.

I said that cats benefited from befriending humanity

Absolutely. And I added that they're a primary agent by which humans propagate the Holocene Extinction.

Like, we wouldn't be nearly as successful at killing so many small mammals and insects if we weren't bringing domesticated cats with us all over the world.

I see what you're saying.

We didn't bring cats anywhere though, they came on their on volition. They do what they want. Dogs are just happy to be anywhere.

It came on it's own accord. Whether we wanted it there or not, it would have gone there.

It came on it’s own accord.

It literally had to be dragged along hissing and scratching

Wait, the cat drove a Honda? I must have missed that in the article.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Ok but I mean, how many of those birds are pigeons and rats? That's a service...
