This is not what is being argued by your side, and you know it.
Do better and argue in good faith.
Cats are predetorial towards small birds that have massive numbers and who reproduce extremely quickly.
Humans take away birds' homes and food sources, kind of like what white man did to indigenous people in NA.
One is predation the other genocide.
One sounds like cause the other sounds like effect.
Have a good life.
They're predetorial towards any bird. They don't care about population size. Again, they've made several species go extinct. Is that not bad?
Yes, our effect on the environment is bad. That includes buildings and everything else. The cat we have as pets is native to around Turkey. If you don't live in Turkey then they don't fit into the ecosystem. They throw off the balance, and are not a healthy part of it. No matter what reasoning you use to justify your negligence, it's wrong. Just because you're a selfish asshole doesn't make you correct.
Ah, yes, the devastation the bald eagle has had, wrought on by house cats. Flamingos were eliminated because of housecats, and I remember these strange creatures called owls they used to exist before housecats got them all.
Remember the time there was anything but cats?
I wish I would never have let my cats out. They nuked the world, and now no one exists.

Stop being an asshole and assuming you can't be wrong. Obviously they haven't killed all birds. How ridiculous would that be. Humans haven't either, and I assume you agree we've caused deviation to the environment, right? Obviously there was be some level of harm between none and literally total extinction of all life, right?
