Wow that's cruel. Someone's cat gets loose, they can't find it yet, and you think it should be killed. Good job killing Fluffy because he escaped.

But letting it slaughter little birds is not cruel, somehow? A manmade pest with no beneficial role to nature is somehow much better to you than functioning ecosystems? If a cat gets out, the owner has made a mistake and will now deal with the consequences.

You mean allowing those cats to follow their instinct doesn't compare to a human making a rational decision to straight up kill someones cat because they slipped through a door?

Who would have thought?

Do you also kill your spouse when they eat a steak?

No, because as a Human I don't have any authority to weigh the value of other Humans, but we do have that right and in fact the responsibility over Cats which exist in absurd numbers everywhere as a result of human incompetence. Your cat should never escape if you're responsible, and if it does then I hope you can catch it before it causes any harm and is exterminated.
