    Let me get this clear. You think humans are responsible for the damage they cause to the environment and we should be aware and take responsibility for it, correct?

    I don’t think anyone disagrees with that evaluation. However, our impact is not only limited to what we build. It also includes our actions. We have hunted species into extinction, which is bad, right?

    If that’s bad, things we choose to bring with us we’re also responsible for, and hunting things out of extinction that don’t just go extinct from normal environmental changes is bad, then bringing cats with us that hunt things to extinction is bad, correct?

    This isn’t saying they’re the only bad things were responsible for. That would be a ridiculous thing to believe. It’s just saying we are responsible for them, and they do cause damage to the ecosystem, including full on extinction events on occasion. (See: the other comment here that includes a list of species that no longer exist because of cats.) You agree, right?
