One day, comrades, one day

the staying power of outdoor cats is remarkable

Eradicate outdoor cats by adopting them and turning them into indoor cats

If you wanna start an old strugglesession, post about the Falklands

scrolling through island nations or provinces trying to find the best one to start struggle sessions over
Falklands, already done... Hawaii, we all agree... Taiwan also... how about... uh... Corsica?
- 1200 hours of EU4 have prepared me for this moment.
  Corsica obviously belongs to the Prusso-Mughal empire, and I'm backing it up with my total war CB.
- Goddammit I thought I was gonna just scroll through Wikipedia to come up with some random bizarre historical claim about this peaceful little island, like saying we should re-establish Genoa and return it to them, but now you've got me actually going down a rabbit hole investigating the history of the FLNC.
  I had no idea there was such a spicy group over there, or that there was even any conflict.
- Give it to Niger as part of reparations. Aim some missiles at France and get Europe to stop fucking with Africa. Create the African Union and have some Soviet/Chinese-style turnaround.
- I feel like there's a good one available about the Soviet occupation of Bornholm maybe.
- Dokdo/Takeshima struggle lets goo!

Lmfao I am seriously crying at work

They've been a plague driving native birds here to extinction. Even controlling pollution doesn't remove the threat they pose. If thats what it takes, its what has to be done.

It's cruel to kill all the outdoor cats, you're depriving the coyotes of a valuable food source.

la chew-tha-cat-bruh :kelly:

what if instead of exterminating the outdoor cats we rounded them all up and kept them indoors from then on

How big does a roof have to be for the outdoors to be classed as indoors?
- how long is a piece of string
I hope this doesn't cause a struggle session. But animals shouldn't be bred for profit or a posh hobby when heaps of homeless cats and dogs exist.
- individuals adopting troubled animals isn't a good enough solution a lot of those animals have additional care requirements outside the capabilities of the average pet owner. What should be done is establish shelters with people actually trained to care for abused animals and make those shelters nice places.
that's just a cat gulag
we need to respect the bird's agency in their own struggle and arm them against the cats
- There's birds of prey that eat cats, but I think that'd be even worse for small bird populations.

just new american internet fads

call in the owls

Cats are really good at hiding from people when they want to.

I feel like we'd have to train some kind of GPS-collared judas cat or mountain lion that can smell if there's a cat in the area.

Hello I’m from the department of agriculture wildlife service, may I indiscriminately seed your land with small poison bombs instead of shooting the cats? It would be more… cost effective.

Edit: my friends from Australia would like to offer up their small poison spraying robot as a fun alternative. The thing we have to emphasize here is that paying PEOPLE to do it is absolutely out of the question!

Cats are a part of the macro human organism. You can't have fields of grains and piles of trash without cats.

We maybe able organize differently and have less cats, but I don't see us getting to 0 cats. Die mad bird lovers! 🐈

The wrong side won the outdoor cats struggle session.

Porque no los dos?

Cats act like they own the place.
Therefore outdoor cats act like they own the outdoors.
The outdoors is the commons and belong to everyone.
Trying to own common property is bourgeois.
Outdoor cats are landlords.
QED.
