What about deforestation and farming ?
Yep. Switching to linux solves those issues too.
Barely moves the needle. Birds are extremely adaptable and readily find habitats in rural, exurban, suburban, and even urban environments. Letting a housecat outside is one of the worst things that a single individual can do for the environment.
This may be true for the USA. In Germany the biggest killer is agriculture, followed by buildings, then cars and then come the cats. I'm guessing this is the reason for the controversy regarding this topic. Cats aren't that big a problem in Germany. Especially if you have a programmable cat flap that leaves the cats inside during morning and evening times. During daytime they don't catch shit.
So destroying over 90% of their natural Habitat is not worse than a single predator? Nevermind most other predators that have been driven to extinction anyway
