Cats are brutal on local wildlife and very detrimental to environment.

Ground nesting birds are in steep decline and unlikely to recover.

Lizards and small snakes are first to go (easy to catch). Skinks and fence lizards are great pest control.

Studies show cats don’t eat many house mice or rats (invasive pests that most directly impact humans), but rather wipe out native mice populations which rarely enter homes but are vital to ecosystems.

Nobody lets their dogs roam free in neighborhoods and public lands. Cats shouldn’t either.
