“CATS ARE SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS,” shouts the headline. “While the Cat Industry claims that some types of cats are safer than others, science proves that cats are a serious risk to kids.”
Unlike vaping, “cute cats come in fluffy, colourful versions that are a gateway for kids into larger, more dangerous animals. While promoted as fun, cuddly, innocent pets, even small cats lead to horrible diseases like cat-scratch disease, plague, rabies, & even deadly toxoplasmosis. Cats have killed over a million humans.”
“Australia showed bold leadership with their program to kill two million cats. In New Zealand, they are proposing a complete cat ownership ban. We must act to protect our children today.”
“Many states/cities have banned or heavily ‘sin taxed’ nicotine vapor products to keep them off the market or discourage their use. It’s time to use the same playbook with cats.”
A world’s first, those behind the website have provided a genuinely scientific comparison of cats when compared to vaping.
Real facts:
- Unlike vaping (that has never killed anybody ever), cats have killed over one million people
- Vaping nicotine helps your brain function, but cats actually change the way the brain works
- Vaping nicotine reduces respiratory problems whereas cats actually cause them
Ultimately, “no cats are safe” say the website creators as they warn against kid-friendly marketing and Cat Industry tactics.
The scary truth about the danger posed by cats should give everybody paws for thought.
