      And they’ve been dying in some horrific ways during that time. Now there’s also a lot of extra, human caused dangers. A responsible pet owner wouldn’t subject their pet to such dangers.

        Please elaborate your claims about past and present dangers for pets, I’m curious about specifics.

        Also how are you mitigating the risk of “such dangers” for pets and children?

          Well you might have heard of cars, highways and other such human created things that haven’t existed during all that time.

          Here’s one study where they examined the welfare concerns over unrestricted/unsupervised outdoor access (and other concerns). https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7070728/#sec5-animals-10-00258

          I wouldn’t allow a cat or a small child to roam around unrestricted. It just seems due to the inherent threats pretty irresponsible.
