Cats shouldn't be outdoors period.
Exactly. One of the most environmentally destructive forces of the modern era (and that’s saying something!). Caused dozens of extinctions.
Though humans are more destructive to their local and remote environments by a faaaaar margin but it is considered a serious crime to go around neutering them.
And cats being introduced everywhere and not properly managed is entirely on humans!
Not everywhere. Where is it a crime?
The mass sterilisation of disabled people and other “unfavourable” minorities comes to mind.
