Cat poop or wild animal droppings? Warning; pile picture!

Killing the cat because it poops in the garden would be okay, but when the cat catches mice, you find it terribly cruel. That is utter nonsense.

Hello kaho

you know how cats kill animals. Something went wrong somewhere in the past. Every predator kills its prey as quickly as possible. First to save energy, secondly to avoid injuries. What do your cats do? They torture their prey until it is slowly dying. This is unnatural. But it is accepted and sugarcoated by you.
As I said: I have no problem with killing an animal quickly and painlessly. But the torment that cats inflict on their prey is repulsive to me.

Is accepted by you, though

yes

and sugarcoated.

nope, where?

Having pity on a rabbit being tormented by a cat, but then an hour later taking the juicy pulled pork out of the smoker, is kind of schizoid.

Schizophrenia? - hey dude, you're not quite up to date, you know? It's now called "alternative consequence" *LOL*

They torture their prey until it is slowly dead. This is unnatural.

Playing with the prey: satisfying the hunting instinct?
The most common theory used to answer this question is directly related to the hunting instinct. It is assumed that all species of cats possess this hunting instinct, including our domesticated house cats. Now, cats that have a comfortable home and always sufficient food available do not go hunting as often. Nevertheless, the hunting instinct needs to be satisfied, so after a successful catch, they still play with the prey to release the excess energy.

I can completely understand that. For me, the cat is acting completely naturally.

I always find it remarkable how people can get so upset about animals killing other animals, yet at the same time buy 99 cent salami from the supermarket. Not that I don’t do that occasionally either, but that is the pinnacle of animal cruelty and one should think about that.

but at the same time buy the 99 cent salami from the supermarket.

Hello Meister Keks

I completely agree with you on that.
I often get the meat from the hunter I trust.
If I had the time, I would get a hunting license and hunt and process a large part of my meat myself.
Unfortunately, I have to work. But I make sure not to buy pork tenderloin for 6.99 euros. Because these poor animals really grew up in torment. But, where there is no buyer, there is no market. If everyone, or at least many, thought like us, there would be a lot less animal cruelty.
