No somebody invited me.

Ah ok

Well feel free to look around and join/start any discussions :3

God I'm not sure I missed Reddit

Feminist: Why don't men/people like Feminism?

Me: *lists reasons*

Feminist: I DIDN'T NEED YOUR MANSPLAINING

Clearly they didn't actually want the answer

Apparently not.

Anything that doesn't fit into their worldview= mansplaining or misogyny, probably both

It's hilarious considering they literally said "they just think feminsits are bitter man haters"

most of the time it feels like feminists are just a huge collection of assholes that for some reason society thinks has the moral high ground

I can see why people wouldn't want to get their cats fixed, but stories like this make me feel like there needs to be population control.

A lot of pets end up getting put down because people don't.. cats aren't like dogs who are always on a leash or in a house, they get up to stuff you don't know about

@AnotherYeti :)

what a coicidence, I was just reading an article about a plan to exterminate cat populations on a number of islands in the Pacific

because they have such a huge adverse impact on the ecologies

Killing birds and such?

most Pacific islands have unique species of birds which are very susceptible to invasive species

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_crow

How did the cats get onto the islands?

Are they inhabited?

explorers brought them

a lot of seafaring ships used cats to keep their rat populations in check

they also brought pigs, which are another huge problem on the islands

pigs are hugely destructive to ecologies

They are? I knew cats could be, but didn't think pigs or boars were that destructive

(To the environment I mean)

they eat a lot, shit a whooole bunch, and trample giant areas, they are quite literally destructive

so the cats are killing the native animals/birds, and the pigs are destroying the local plant life

double whammy

wild pigs can eat anywhere from 5 to 10 pounds of food in a day

thats a lot of biomass on an island

Would their excrement not also be useful for fertilizer to help the recovery of that biomass?

sort of, its a common misconception that all poop is good 😛

its really a question of how much

some poop is good, a lot of poop is toxic

too much of a good thing I suppose you could call it

plus if the pigs eliminate too much of the ground cover foliage the island is more susceptible to storms and high winds

so storm damage is increased

I would have thought trees and such would be the main barriers against storms
