Is this praxis?

To be fair, the queen was in her late twenties, Snow was in her tweens, and the mirror was but one pedophile inside the kindom of pedophiles.

This explains why there are no more zterodactyls

I suppose I'm not conflating "rise" with "genesis". Human organizational structure was slow to ramp up and I don't think the bronze age is a terrible place to draw a line and say "this is where things start to heat up".

I mean... How inaccurate is this, really?

I mean, the Neolithic period got people farming I guess, but it's a tough sell.

Is the issue that the folks are in anachronistic clothing and have gym bodies instead of working bodies?

Please be serious. I read the source that I posted; you're not being clever. Cats don't magically show up from nowhere. Our culture around cats enables and feeds the feral population. If we didn't keep cats as pets, and animal control treated them the same way they treat raccoons, then this problem would be dramatically reduced. Probably eliminated, but they might turn into an intractable urban pest.

! We estimate that free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually. Un-owned cats, as opposed to owned pets, cause the majority of this mortality. Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic mortality for US birds and mammals. !<

Unless, of course, you're saying that we shouldn't stop one bad thing because we do other bad things.

We should rethink our attachments to miniature tigers.

True, ethical adoption is an option.

But then I always ran into the issue with how to feed the cute little monsters, which is what this drama is about.

Honestly, it's easier to not have a cat. Plus I'm allergic, so...

Cats are bad, generally.

They're killing machines that have a big impact on local wildlife.

A vegan that keeps cats isn't exactly approaching the situation from a purely vegan-based mentality.

If I graft this cancerous flesh mound onto my head, I'll be a little taller!

I wouldn't characterize either party as being particularly free from bias. It's a shame that ground-level reporters have such a frequent tendency to die.
