Jimothy the raccoon has a rare spinal condition. Here's what that means

I also want to put a bird feeder outside a window we have, but I know that'll mean bird poop on a walkway that other people use

Same with some technology, I want to use X because it seems better but I know that'll mean it won't get the same support as Y so we have to use Y

These programs aren’t about people feeling good about themselves. The middle ground you suggest IS neutering and spaying all the animals you can find. The more extreme end of control is culls. It isn’t something you can ignore without pretty serious second order effects.

It ends up being pretty grim for the animals and sometimes humans too when stray population isn’t controlled. I’m talking about the conditions these animals end up enduring, not the culling which is its own grim process.

As someone who had to help get a stray cat population under control the ugly way (limited budget in a developing country), I would much rather that strays get fixed before it gets there.

To be rational, you should take opinions as written, not considering the writer, and debate them on their merits alone.

Not that their opinion was rational, as we have not conclusively proved the existence of the soul. That being said, the negative emphasis of your reply probably deserved a rude comeback.

Gruff, annoyed responses to people enjoying a mutated racoon is not acceptable behavior. It's weird.

In my opinion, taking offense at whimsy is weak sauce and deserves to be replied to as such.

I realize you can say that my opinion doesn't matter since my username is bizarroland, and I do come from a strange place, but that's still my opinion and I'll stand by it.
