The UK is losing its wildcat population because of british arrogance about cats.

Youre also bringing in all your local predators into human settlements with the free food that cats become. Foxes love outdoor cats, theyre easy meals. You know what else loves cats? Tires. Smears a cat like jam.

But whats another destroyed ecosystem to the brits? Yall love ruining ecosystems, may as well fill your own backyard with piss.

The wildcats are in Northern Scotland. I'd be OK with the Scots banning outdoor cats.

Foxes like bins, they don't fight back.

I've seen maybe 1 domestic cat hit by a car, I've seen hundreds of hedgehogs, foxes, badgers and deer. That's not an outdoor cat problem.

It's easy to sit on a moral high horse about a country you don't really know anything about. We didn't come to this land 300 years ago. The concept of an intact ecosystem vanished about 1000 years ago. It is a completely different island. The best we can do is keep the last of our wild species ticking over.

Unlike the Americans, who exploited and continue to exploit one of the most beautiful lands in the world, when they should have known better.

The wildcats are now surviving in northern scotland. That was not their original range.

Your lot thought a serial killer was on a cat mutilation spree, for 4 years, only to find out it was a fox that wasnt hiding its kills. So.... No, sorry, you dont actually seem to know the country you live in very well. Foxes eat cats like candy, they just prefer to hide while they eat.

But Im glad cat deaths only count when you see them, Im sure you cover your eyes often.

"Unlike the americans." Lol, ok bud. Because I know from actual formerly british researchers that you take care of your ecosystem as well as well as you take care of your relationship with the mainland.

Okie doke. You're clearly very angry about cats, so much so you managed to miss every point I made, good job.

Your points werent missed, they were just wrong.

But youve made it clear that reality wont stop you killing cats or further ruining your local ecosystem, so farewell to the poor scottish wildcat.
