Anyone with cats knows they aren't innocent, they are always up to something.
I know this might be an unpopular opinion online, but kittens make absolutely terrible lawyers. I'm pretty sure that all of their briefs are written by CatGPT.
Le Chat, you mean.

kittens cant be lawyers, you have to be at least 1 cat year old to be an adult cat before you can go ta cat lawyer school
Well, there are dog attacks.
Those only occur thanks to shitty people who didn't train and / or treat the dogs properly.
There are wilds animals though.
But it's a moot point cause you can't assign guilt to an animal.
No. there are aggressive dogs who attack innocent people.
Are you on crack?
I don't. It's just English being not my native tongue.
Should I post here gore images of a dog, mauling a child, as a counterpoint?
Look, there are great dogs, but there are also violent dogs. And there are innocent victims of such dogs.
They can still attack a neighbor or stranger walking down the street. Saw one recently they killed the dogsitter.
Ecological science has some strongly disagreeing points, but that's coming from a human, so paw in my mouth.
Edit Oh, god. I realised this'll trigger all the " my pet only stays indoors or wears a bell" people. Good. Good! But it's not really about you and that, is it? Save yourself the time and keep scrolling.
I have a friend who works in forest ecology, he seems to hate all deer on a personal level. Pretty sure if he had the power we would all someday read about a scientist who enacted a genocide on the deer population of North America.
I suspect it's because uncontrolled deer can wreak havoc on an ecosystem and we've driven out/killed most of their natural predators.
Fixed typo
Oh he's definitely explained himself, it's his favorite topic to rant about when he's drinking too much.
Basically Native Americans spent thousands of years reshaping the forest in North America to basically become giant deer making factories. The native population didn't cultivate fame animals the same as the Europeans, but they did change the ecology of forest to sustain a very large population on wild game.
After the great dying in the Americas substantially reduced the number of people maintaining the ecology and moderating the deer population exploded. Which is part of the reason colonizers described America as some untouched and ever bountiful land full of wild game. Their expansion west and their hunting of what little natural predators were left just made a bad situation worse.
Now deer are super overpopulated and eating the forest floor clean of underbrush and new saplings, causing a cascading failure in the forests ability to sustain itself and other animals.
Is this the bit about where we place all that foreign food (young conifers) in their area and then get upset when they eat it?

I'd argue they're still innocent, if not actually victims - it's ultimately humans fault at the end of the day
