Also the easier solution is more TNR and more education and resources to help prevent dumping unwanted cats.
I worked with a shelter for a bit which specialized in feral cat populations. They would work with local landowners and municipalities to trap feral cats and engage in both TNR and they would separate out friendly cats to adopt out. They also worked with a local community college's vet program to run an annual spayathon, with low cost spay/neutering services available, giving veterinary students valueble experience and helping reduce cat populations.
With enough funding such projects can be successful, but its ultimately a numbers game since one mother can have a litter of 5+ kittens every year, and those 5 kittens can have litters the next year and so on, so it takes a lot of hands on work trapping, spaying/neutering and releasing and maintaining that progress indefinitely to make a dent in the local popupation. There's always going to be a few cats you never catch who keep the population going, so you have to limit their impact on the overall population
If we're past the moral point then let's talk! I mean Chinese eat birds nests, I'm sure we can accommodate cat in some cuisine. If not for flavor or texture then for the good of ecological balance. It would be weird if we only ate everything except cats and end up with 600 million cats. There are 600 million cats in the world by the way.
They breed fast, they're lean, and apart from the presumptive ethical consideration it just makes good economical sense.

I'd like to seize those means of production.

This guy sees the means of reproduction!

He should say "entrepreneur" in the bio
ThePyroPython@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 263d
No it says he's an artist, clearly this is high-quality artisanal cheese.
iii@mander.xyz · 7 pts · 263d
A real entrepreneur would say he's an artisanal artist

Putting the anal in artisanal.

I wonder if anyone with a lactation kink has made cheese out of it…
RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 263d
With literally 0 research I can confidently say the answer is yes
Holytimes@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 262d
With unfortunate life experiences I can confirm what this man says is true.
PLEASE WARN YOUR COWORKERS BEFORE YOU FEED THEM YOUR TITTY CHEESE.

I love how even he doesn’t know what “ex-father” means.

Ex father? Broke up with his kids?
adhocfungus@midwest.social · 43 pts · 263d
Surely he just means that he left the church and is no longer a pastor at... 18!
tomiant@piefed.social · 23 pts · 263d
I'm thinking he lost custody of his multiple kids before the age of 18.
theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 19 pts · 263d
He disowned his kid because it was toxic and attention seeking waking him up crying at night.
QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 263d
Dead :)

He's the father of his ex

One of them couldn't digest cheese, so they had to go.

and still there's people that pretend perfection doesn't exist

It is actually impressive for such a young man to accumulate that many cats. No commitment issues here.
tomiant@piefed.social · 18 pts · 263d
If you live in conditions squalid enough, they come to you quite by their own accord.
fascicle@leminal.space · 8 pts · 263d
And they multiply pretty quickly, someone started feeding the parking lot cats at work like two years ago, now we have dozens all over
tomiant@piefed.social · 3 pts · 263d
I know this is a contentious issue but I think we should eat cats.
And dogs.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social · 10 pts · 263d
Okay, weird to bring that up in this context.
tomiant@piefed.social · 1 pts · 262d
My thinking was that, if we have an unmanageable population of cats, why don't we solve the problem the way we solve all biodiversity- by eating it?
I'm not saying we should, I'm just saying it's a possible solution.
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 262d
Is it even meat we'd want to eat though?
Also the easier solution is more TNR and more education and resources to help prevent dumping unwanted cats.

You literally used the word "should" in your previous comment 😉
tomiant@piefed.social · 1 pts · 262d
Look I'm saying we could.
Or we might.
It's a hypothetical proposition.

Can confirm. There are a lot of strays in my country, my parents always leave food in the garden, so they have quite the colony in the garden now.

I used to work for one that would eat cheese pizza he ordered for the crew and then he would gas up the register line and go hide in his office.

It's a special treat. You know how some folks get shit faced and call that a good time? Lactose intolerant people face shit and call it a great time.

still debatable.

Holytimes@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 262d
Makes sense, no cat would allow their servant to be so entitled as to claim to live with them. No no no!
They are allowed to exist near them. Under them.
It explains why this guy is searching for a dommy mommy. He knows his place! Insert horrible sex puns here

Weird way to say widower or were the kids taken away and he's lost all custody?
JackbyDev@programming.dev · 4 pts · 262d
He's looking for a dominant mommy so maybe he used to be a dominant father. (?)
