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.

Going strong for over 30,000 years.
Dogs and cats are half the fucking problem.
Explain.
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.
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.

Ok but I mean, how many of those birds are pigeons and rats? That's a service...
I would guess that none of the birds were rats. Unless you mean they talked to the cops, in which case I agree they had it coming.
Humans made dogs!
