  • It depends on which homeless group you’re talking about.

    Whenever the subject of homelessness comes up, people seem to think the issue is only people who are temporarily down on their luck and just need a hand up.

    They’re not the group that’s the main issue. The main issue is the people who are chronically homeless because they have an untreated mental illness, are treating that mental illness with drugs, or are just using drugs.

    Their issue isn’t a lack of money, it’s a lack of help to actually be able to function in society. Because just giving them a house and money isn’t treating the cause of their issue.

    Think of it like crash dieting. Sure, you’ll probably lose weight, but if you don’t make the changes to address the reason you got fat in the first place, it’s not a long term solution.








  • So, to your ridiculous rambling, the damage domestic cats do to the local ecosystem is damage that humans are causing. Which is why the entire discussion is about telling people not to let their cats outside.

    But, one thing you need to realize is that just because the discussion is about damage caused by non-humans doesn’t mean that people are ignoring the damage that humans cause.

    It’s like getting pissed off at BLM because the discussion is about black people and not all people.




  • I witnessed basically this exact conversation once. We were in the exam room, and our vet stepped out to the computer in the hallway to show a woman her cat’s X-rays. Apparently it had been attacked by a dog and wouldn’t make it.

    The vet literally said, “So what did we learn today? Don’t let your cat outside if you want it to live.”
