For those not in the know, the original post was about how someone kept losing their outdoor cats to coyotes and kept adopting more, so was basically feeding cats to coyotes.

Keep your cats indoors folks, will keep them from killing birds and keep bigger things from killing them. Don't want your pet subjected to the food chain? Don't make them participate in it.

Also, now that I think about it, how did the shelter not blacklist them after the second cat they lost? They kept just giving cats to this person knowing they don't bother to keep them safe?

Wrong. These cats were for killing vermin outside. Guy should have got a couple of big dogs.
