      The cat can't see it, it's infrared. There's no way a cat would just stay put while a strong beam of light is trained on them, when it is pitch dark, too. If you shine a flashlight at a house cat in the middle of the night when the light is out (and please do not do this), the cat will dash away FAST. Let alone a wild cat that is already very wary of its environment.

      And while I don't mean to sound like species extinction isn't something we should try to prevent, I will make the point that the only reason we exist, is because of a catastrophic mass extinction, which allowed our mammal antecedents to develop. I'm not sure how humans will become extinct, but I don't see us here in a million years, and in the wake there will be an entirely new crop of animals having a turn of the planet.
      In short, you honestly do not need to feel sad about it.

I have a great appreciation for animals and life, I just also understand that it's not the hunting of animals that ends them. Even when we do tend to over hunt an animal, said animals food source sky rockets and then, that animal that was over hunted comes back because they breed well.

    Contrary to what most people believe, your average house cat can actually swim quite well if necessary. We found this out after we moved onto our boat and our more adventurous kitty fell in. My hubby didn’t even get the door to the swim platform open preparing to jump in after him and he was doggy-paddling straight to the dock and climbed right out! Needless to say, he doesn’t enjoy the water (and he literally spent the next 4 or 5 hours grooming!), but he definitely could manage and hold his own. Now, we just place several thick ropes around the boat so that they can easily climb back aboard should we not be near a dock, such as when we are anchoring out.

    Varuka Salt: “Daddy, I want a fishing cat!”

  • @tiffariff
    @tiffariff 3 года назад +98

    When I saw that one fishing cat who’s leg got taken away, limping around through the wild, already likely having a rough life before, now with the odds extremely against it I just broke down and cried. It wasn’t just that, but seeing that level of cruelty- which I know is so common- just tipped over the pile of things burdening me today, and I honestly couldn’t handle one more thing. I hate humans are so cruel to animals and anyone in general. 😞 we act like everything is ours for the taking.

      I don't like to judge other cultures, freedom of speech and hunting rights, but I for one am against eating cats. But would love one as a pet.
