I was just showing you that there’s a lot of cats dying from accidents with cars. A lot more getting injured from it. And it’s just one hazard of many. That’s why it’s not seen as responsible pet ownership (and not legal) where I live to let them roam without supervision. Could get hit by a car and suffer horribly from it without you being able to do anything about it, which would be horrific.
What’s really more selfish and entitled? Imprisoning an animal for life in return for an increased 0.5% of safety or letting it makes its own choice?
I mean getting a cat is selfish to begin with since you are getting yourself a pet after all, but as a pet owner you’re supposed to take as good care of them as possible. It’s like with kids. Once you’ve made the decision to get one you’re responsible for it and it would be silly to expect a small child to make the decisions. You’re the one who is responsible for their well-being.
It seems like a fairly risky assumption to make just from you having it work like that in the US.
As a side note, that % thing (day fines) don’t cover all speeding tickets, since they’re considered so minor. It’s the bigger offenses (of speed limits and in general) that are covered. So it actually covers other stuff too, not just speeding.
Here’s a pic showing the amounts. It has the speed limit, how much over the limit you were and how much you end up paying as a fine. Bottom one is “regardless of the limit” and “over 20 km/h”, so whenever you go over by over 20 km/h, you pay “day fines”.
What sort of effect? From what I found they really didn’t say, they said it (the plastic in your body) might have some adverse effect but didn’t really know what. And more important than that, are the plastic water bottles how big of a source of the plastic compared to others.
One reason to use well known sites for such links at least for me is that I’m not familiar with the field and can’t for myself review how significant or well done the study is and can’t parse it that well. So I kinda have to outsource that and hope the more repubtable sites have some knowledge about what they’re reporting.
I know CNN isn’t great but it’s well known and at least somewhat reputable, which makes me think the study might have something going for it. With sites I haven’t heard of that’s more difficult for me to gauge.
