Actually, 75% of cattle attacks on humans are deliberate (bulls are just flat out aggressive and mama cows are extremely protective of their calves).
But that isn’t germane to your argument. You’ve repeatedly claimed that it’s wrong to kill sentient animals and that birds and mammals are sentient - this is your chief argument for killing cats. But how can you stop at cats? Most mammals and a lot of birds kill sentient animals on a regular basis. Why single out cats and not offer to exterminate bears, raptors, orcas, crocodiles, dogs, humans, etc?
We share our home with four cats. Just as a general thing, I WILL cut any motherfucker that comes for my moggies.

Edit: This started out to be a thread about voting.
Yeah, it certainly took a turn didn't it.
I can see compulsory voting being a sham. People will vote to follow the rules but either put no thought into their choices or vote for the worst just to be a jerk. You may be able to make them do it but for some it will be like just filling in the bubbles on a test sheet.
I prefer that people who don't want to vote or take the vote seriously to just stay home.
