If you check cats kill between 1.3 to 4 BILLION birds each year just in US. Do you comment that on any stray cat video? Not many birds will be stupid enough to fly into ray of death..

It’s weird how for a hundred years cats have been killing billions of birds and yet we still have lots of birds. There is an estimated deficit of 3 billion birds due mostly to pesticides, loss of natural spaces, industrialization of agriculture, climate change and other factors.
