It’s humans who normally spread the disease. By his reasoning, all humans should be killed.

How stupid could you possibly be? I think this was actually tried during the bubonic plague and the mice/rat population (and the plague) increased bigtime as a result.

The Brits backed right down. Just like they always have with the Norse.

UK Gov’t confirms Covid19 harmless to VAST MAJORITY of people

This was known right at the outset but the left wing politicians went ahead and destroyed as much of society as they could with two years of lockdowns and mandates.

At the beginning of WWII the Brits euthanized a lot of pet dogs and cats.

No, he/she is pointing out the fallacy of their logic.

I bet more politicians have spread Covid (and other diseases) much more than cats.

I don’t suppose that they have considered killing off themselves because of it.

Killing all cats? My cat, Mr. Whiskers, would not have gone easily.

That would have been a mess. I have a tom cat that follows me around like a dog and I don’t think I would let anyone kill Maximus without a fight.

Next up will be a cat/dog die off due to “accidental” food poisoning.
