Is this why you attempted to whine about fast food, in order to shout down an increased minimum wage, merely a month ago?:

lmao troll can't even remember what they posted barely over a month ago. Try harder, mate.

Do you know what the definition of anymore is?

anymore
[enmr]
adverb
  1. to any further extent; any longer


So, I dont eat fast food anymore means I no longer do it

I'm not defending him but I think you already passed the point where one could defend him. Maybe that's fine here but you were doing it in the other topic too, basically kicking the person when you already bitch slapped them.

Or to put it simply, I think that's ENOUGH.

Alright, I can get behind that. My bad. I know I get aggressive. I thought you were trying to argue I was wrong, and defending the blatant chuds. I admit I don't feel bad about kicking chuds when they're down because they choose to be who they are and argue the things they do.

You gotta admit it's weird that the other TC admitted they have multiple accounts and yet chose that one, given the timing, right? Maybe I'm wrong, but..c'mon, that seems suspect.

Forgive me for assuming that's intentional when they outright admitted they could have posted on a different account. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's hella suspect.

The TC stated their alt can't access CE since they don't use it often enough to have built up the karma so the main is their only option and while the account name is unfortunate given current events (heh), it was made way before said events in the first place.

It's like if some guy called himself the BloodMoon7 killer and just went crazy at the blind orphan puppy orphanage, would that be my fault? You need to settle down fam.

I kind of think you should, if only for the efficacy of getting TNR people able to come and do their job/volunteerism more effectively.

I don't believe in breeding colonies of ferals, but if you can get them all centralized and identified and then cared for, things get a lot better for everyone.

As much as I love cats, it's not a good idea to be feeding stray cats because then they tell all their friends that there's food at your house and soon you find a bunch of cats hanging around outside your house.

You like mice and other rodents in the house?

Stray cats can take care of themselves and eventually will stop hanging around humans that don't feed them. You'll see them darting around now and then, or they find somewhere else to hunt.

It's also not wise to feed stray cats because:

  • Health risks: Feeding stray animals can increase the transmission of disease and injuries from fighting.
  • Ecosystem damage: Feeding feral cats can be detrimental to the health of the ecosystem and wildlife.
  • Property damage: An excessive number of cats in one place can damage personal property.
  • Increased stray problem: Providing food to undesexed cats increases the stray problem.
  • Lures other wildlife: Feeding stray cats can attract other local wildlife species like raccoons, skunks, foxes, and opossums.

From http://www.aaanimalcontrol.com/professional-trapper/feed-stray-cats.html:

Please don't feed stray cats! Yes, it's fun to do! Many people feel good doing it. They think they're helping the cats. They get a warm fuzzy feeling inside. BUT FEEDING STRAY CATS HURTS THEM. Absolutely. I've seen dozens of horrific cases of diseased and malnourished packs of stray cats as a result of people leaving out food for them. This is because feeding causes a bunch of cats to get together, and dependent on human feeding, and they breed like crazy, and then you've got a lot of cats in one small area, they fight, they spread disease between each other, and the population grows too large to feed, and heaven help them when the overwhelmed human stops feeding them, they all starve even worse.

Today, more than 100 million feral and outdoor cats function as an invasive species with enormous impacts. Every year in the United States, cats kill well over 1 billion birds. This stunning level of predation is unsustainable for many already-declining species like Least Tern and Wood Thrush.

@Torgo @chaos_knight Animal experts agree that feeding stray cats is a bad idea. It has nothing to do with politics.

https://tenlives.com.au/welfare/feeding-stray-cats-cruel-or-kind/

On any given day, most people would seek to provide food and shelter to a hungry homeless animal that crosses their path. There is an immediate problem and an immediate solution: You are hungry, and I can feed you. As a vet, I know how rewarding it can be to provide care and fulfill the needs of a vulnerable animal and most of us wouldnt need to search very far to encounter a stray cat who would happily accept a meal or three. When I kept running into Spot on my walks past an abandoned house in my neighborhood, my instinct was to reach for a can of cat food. I couldnt help but wonder about the complexity of the situation and the wider problem at hand. Why are there so many stray cats out there? And is feeding them helping them? Is it kind, or can it do more harm than good?

A stray cat is an unowned cat that relies on humans for at least some of its needs. This can be indirectly through scavenging in bins or at tips, or directly by people providing cat food or scraps. The population of strays may interact with true feral cats, who do not rely on humans for any of their needs, and with domestic cats who have an owner to care for them. A cat that is not responsibly cared for by an owner will live where it is able to satisfy its need for food and shelter. This may be in the bush hunting for native animals and rodents, behind a caf where there is access to food in bins, or in a residential area where there is a person who doles out the cat food without taking ownership of the cat/s.

The more food that is available, the more cats will frequent a location. The more food that is available, the higher the pregnancy rates are in females. The more food that is available, the larger the litter sizes a female will produce. The more food that is available, the higher the carrying capacity of the environment at hand. By providing a food source to one or more undesexed cats a person is directly causing an increase in the stray problem. At a bare minimum, the person regularly feeding a cat needs to ensure it is desexed.

The welfare of unowned urban or suburban stray cats tends to be low, especially when numbers start to rise. Nutrition tends to be poor, internal and external parasites are untreated, and contagious illnesses such as flu and ringworm can be common as other pressures compromise the immune system. These animals tend to live tough, short lives. One friendly, undesexed stray can give birth to many kittens. If provided with access to food and no positive handling by humans, these kittens will quickly become wild, unable to be handled or rehomed.

I agree if you live in a densely populated area enclosed by roads on all sides it's a bad idea to feed a cat you don't intend to continue caring for in some capacity.

I don't support the controlling aspect. However, stray/feral cats are incredibly damaging to the environment and can also be detrimental to other people's personal property. I believe that all cats caught or evidenced any threatened or high-risk native fauna should be immediately be euthanized.

I support taking care of strays. Its not difficult and makes a world of difference to the cat, who did not chose to be homeless and lonely. The best thing though is to get the spayed so they cant reproduce. Check with local stray outreach groups for help on that
