Yes, we should be concerned about this, but the only alternative isn't cruelty.

A single free roaming cat kills between 500 and 1300 animals in its lifetime. Strays kill more.

Euthanizing a cat to save 1000 animals isn't cruelty.

Blah blah blah repeating the same numbers that presuppose every single cat is doing that and that every single cat is in an environment that would enable them to do that, just so that you can excuse killing them. Rinse repeat.

Change the fucking record.

Do you understand the concept of averages?

Or statistics in general?

Cats kill between 1.4 and 3.7 billion birds and 6.9 to 20.7 billion mammals each year in the United States alone.
