I Still Receive Hate Mail from Cat Lovers

To this day, I still receive messages from cat lovers. Most of these are hateful insults and below-the-belt remarks. Aside from their personal insults and name-calling, they keep repeating their argument that domesticated cats are not predators. This is simply false. Domesticated cats are predators. They are even considered as apex predators in certain environments. 

These people also keep on saying that it's okay for a domesticated cat to freely roam in a declared protected landscape and biodiverse area like Mt. Pulag. Again, this is wrong. There's a reason why Mt. Pulag was declared by the Philippine government as a protected landscape and forest reserve. A simple Google search would show anyone who cares enough to do a Google search that the impacts of domesticated cats to native wildlife have been recorded and studied all over the world. These data are readily available online.

They also keep blaming me for things I didn't do or say. It's not surprising though because there are pages out there who misrepresented or simply lied about everything that I said or did.
