  • It sounds like a bit of a shitshow even without US involvement

    The republic was politically unstable, experiencing civil wars, rebellions, and insurrections by liberals and conservatives. From 1827 to 1829, it fell into a civil war between conservatives who supported Arce and liberals who opposed him. Liberal politician Francisco Morazán led the liberals to victory, and was elected president in 1830. The republic descended into a second civil war from 1838 to 1840, by the end of which the states of Central America declared independence and the federal republic ceased to exist.

    Historians have attributed the country’s political instability to its federal system of government and its economic struggles. Agricultural exports were insufficient and the federal government was unable to repay its foreign loans, despite favorable terms. Central America’s economic troubles were caused in part by the federal government’s inability to collect taxes and inadequate interstate infrastructure.

    Replying to singular lines or small parts of comments makes the whole comment a disjointed mess. If you aren’t even willing to accept the multitude of studies and animal welfare organisations saying there’s an (obvious) increased risk from unsupervised roaming, then there’s nothing much to go on from here. If you feel there’s more positives and can support that with studies, I’d be interested to see that. If it’s just your emotional take, I understand that, but it’s just not very responsible way to handle a pet.

    If you read the conclusion it does say it would be better to keep your cats indoors because of all the associated risks. You just seem to be in denial about the whole thing and I don’t blame you, it’s a really emotional topic for some reason.

    I mean study after study gives the obvious conclusion that of course it comes with increased risk and of course you wouldn’t be there to help them, it’s unsupervised and unrestricted roaming, so duh. And of course it negatively affects the surrounding wildlife, you’re introducing lots of cats to places that had a lot less if any cats.

    But there’s such a strong emotional aspect to it that I just can’t understand that makes people pretend stupid or just refuse to accept the obvious conclusion.

    The study mentions that risk factors of outdoor keeping vary by location. There is no mention of historic risk and therefore no assessment how these may have evolved.

    You really need a study to say to you that thousands of years ago cars weren’t as much of a risk?
