I need Americans to stop weighing in on the UKs indoor vs outdoor cat debate until they read up on our biodiversity crisis and learn exactly why our wildlife decline is so serious (spoiler: it's not the cats)

#im all for advocating for indoor cats but americans please listen to us when we tell you its not what will save our wildlife. please #except in scotland with scottish wildcats. if youre gonna go hard on us for indoor cats focus on that. please #the UKs situation is entirely different to america and wont listen when we tell them this but they love to talk as if we're stupid #hold our government accountable. hold our landowners accountable. please #13% woodland cover left in the uk and only 25% is ancient. 71% farmland cover and agriculture is so intensive it cannot sustain our wildlife #the government is polluting our waters. pesticides are polluting our waters #THAT is why our wildlife is dying #cats have been here for 1600 years and the wildlife decrease has only been significant within the last 100 or so. 41% since 1970 #it aint the cats. i know its hard for americans to accept. but listen to us. it aint the cats #would it help? yes of course and thats why im still for it. is it going to solve our biodiversity crisis? absolutely not and it never will
