I never said I thought that cats and humans are the same. I just made a comparable situation, where without proper supervision, a tragedy can occur.

I'm not sure why you feel the need to break up a post into 5 different paragraphs and then deliver one liners to make yourself look better.

The real issue is people knowlingly wanting to harm an animal, when there is a humane solution. Just because the cats are allowed to roam outside, doesn't mean they are any less loved than any other pet. Would you feel remorse if your dog or neighbours dog drank some of that antifreeze?

I know I would feel terrible if I accidently hit someone with my car, even though I had taken every precaution to avoid doing any harm. The end result (death) is still the same. An unavoidable accident (the leaking car for example) is not what is being debated here, because even with innocent intent, sometimes horrible things happen that can't be avoided.

However if you leave a dish of poison out for an animal with the express intent of causing it harm, I think you are a sick individual, and really need to give your morals a strong re-think.
