Yeah, the point of this piece is gonna be lost in just how silly it reads.

All cats should have to wear collars with bells on. In the UK alone it is estimated that cats kill 50 million wild birds a year. No cat lover can claim to be an animal lover with those figures unless the cat has a bell collar
27% – some triggered cat owners out there.
Terribly written article, but its a good point. My cat brings me things alive…birds, frogs, mice, rats even a snake. I lock my cat in at night
Sigh. Not this again. Anyway:

This is great, you can tell the cat owners when people start virulently defending cats killing so many birds, like those threads about dogs mauling kids always has 3 or 4 nutjobs attacking anyone who dares suggest it might be a Staffordshire bull terrier again.
Fucking loons, the lot of them.
Ah poor Jack Lis. Feel like this post is having a big laugh at his misfortune.
What about attaching a small bell to the meow-meow’s collar so the potential prey gets more advance warning…
