Didn't see it mentioned here, but /an/ should definitely have a spot of honor with their rabid cat hate. They were spergy about outdoor cats for years, but in the last 3-4 years it has gone to the point where sometimes the mere mention of a cat (outside of the cat thread) will send some retards into a foaming-at-the-mouth rage and graphic descriptions of how they're murdering cats with the circlejerk crowd praising them and fapping in unison. I reckon partially it happened due to that toxoplasmosois theory being churned around by 8/pol/ a few years back, since they really latched onto hating cats. After all, fags and women like cats, therefore we must hate them with a burning passion, right?
It's a damn shame too because they're one of the few places with an okay parrot discussion going on, but the rabid cat hate is making the board unreadable sometimes.

Personally, I'm leaning towards urbanites and American lawn culture having a worse effect in regards to the small bird/reptile population than cats. I'm european, but I've lived on a farm and had a fuckload of barn cats all my life. Never have the songbirds, lizards, frogs, or toads been hunted out by cats. Yes, they nab a few every now and then but the population is so huge it doesn't matter, in winter my birdy feeder has almost the whole array of local birds, and we have every local frog/toad species represented. But of course, mention that on /an/ and they'll just say you have toxoplasmosis and scream anecdotal evidence. I refuse to believe American wildlife is so fucking weak that cats would completely destroy it, there are natural predators that were filing that niche before, it's not like New Zealand.
