Comment on Australia wants to force cats to stay inside or give them a curfew because they are murdering so many other animals they are a threat to the country's biodiversity

  Maybe you should keep your German shepherd indoors to stop it mauling other creatures?

    Dogs need to go outside. Cats don’t. My dogs stay on my property, your cats don’t stay on yours. I don’t want to bury any more cats, so please just keep them inside.

        How? Dogs must be let outside to run and potty for the sake of their health. I suppose indoors can suffice for a small dog, and you can litter box train them, but for a shepherd mix, a black lab, and a brittany? They must go outside sometimes.

        I let my dogs roam in a relatively small enclosed area where they can’t hurt anyone or anything that doesn’t intrude. They can’t jump the fence, they can’t climb trees. Cats can and do jump fences and climb trees, which is why I’ve had to bury more than one. It’s not like my dogs went into someone else’s yard to pick a fight.
