Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I get rescues that wouldn't have a life otherwise. Would you rather they be killed?
May as well. Someone should tell that to my current neighbor who lets his cat roam, cause he either doesn't know or care that Coyotes are common around here. In any case, no matter what you FEEL, it's not good enough to justify why you feel entitled to allow your property (a cat is legally property) to go about free to do whatever it wants to do to everyone else's stuff. At the crux of it, it's entitlement. Why do you feel entitled to let your pet roam while saying others like dog owners can't do the same.
Yeah but my cat doesn't leave my garden, and I have zero coyotes living living near me. Not to add I have a neighbour with three cats and they've never damaged anything while the dog my neighbour has takes dumps Im my yard and barks all night. I don't disagree that cats cause alot of harm, especially in countries like Australia and new Zealand. However calling for a worldwide ban to cats going outside I don't think is the solution.
If your cat isn't leaving your garden it's not roaming. I frankly don't care if your cat is in danger, that's your job to care about that. I care about my property and my own pets who are in danger from roaming cats. Like I said before, do what you want, let your cat roam, but don't cry when it never returns. Let your cat roam, but eventually it will be dealt with as the pest it is and you'll have no recourse.
