Fit to Be Tied (1952)

This Tom and Jerry episode demonstrates why . . .

[7/10 · 13 October 2022]

. . . America needs so-called "leash laws" for CATS, rather than canines. Most dogs just want a cozy place to sleep after chewing their chow, especially older mutts like Spike. However, for the first 20 years of so of their lives, tabbies are constantly chasing the wildlife within the grasp of their killer claws, whether it's mice like Jerry--or, in Real Life, more often than not--whooping crane fledglings, endangered songbirds and spotted owlets. Bird counters estimate that a single cat roaming unleashed outdoors will slay an average of 10 more desirable critters such as songbirds daily. That adds up to about 4,000 wasted mommy, daddy and baby finches annually, or 80,000 missing martins during a feral kitty's lifetime. Any attempt to excuse these cruel tabbies for maliciously pillaging the last of the passenger pigeons would leave the apologist FIT TO BE TIED.
