You sound fat

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Not sure if you're still watching this thread but just a comment regarding naturalized. I have training in wildlife biology and it's kind of an invented term in this field to defend the existence and management of pheasants in North America which are non native but typically thought of as not disruptive to the ecosystem since they occupy farmland and the idea is that they are not out-competing other native birds or utilizing resources that could otherwise be used by other species. Also they have the benefit of being a historic and extremely popular hunting species. SO, basically this results in managers that can say they manage for "native and naturalized" species and want to control/eradicate "exotic, invasive" species.

Even disregarding the invention of the term "naturalized," it doesn't describe cats anyway. Cats are not naturalized, even in completely feral states without human intervention because they have direct impacts on native species. Killing of native birds, small mammals, and small reptiles is additive rather than compensatory relative to already existing stressors and limitations in the environment.
