obviously the technology development outpaces personal development of humans.

Left the mark - got water shot, attacked an ill elk - got lead shot (the fate of Montana wolves what Obama administration allowed to kill)

There are other ways to manage the situation, yet it is the human nature that it always choose the way of violence. Redneck shooting a wolf experiences the same pleasure as a geek shooting water into cat.

Oh please. The water wasn't strong enough to knock over the wind-up giraffe. There's no way the cats are getting hurt by this. It's set up to startle them, so that they stop peeing all over his car.

Notice that zero cats who are kept under control by their owners appeared in this video.

why the humans think they have rights to punish or keep under control? This planet isn't exclusive property of humans. Humans are only guests here, vicious, polluting, killing everything they could. Cats are much happier than they roam free. Don't like your car being pissed on? Get a garage, moron.
Note that the country that this was filmed in was Australia. Cats do a lot of damage to local wildlife. Wildlife that is unique to Australia. Keeping your pet cat under control in Australia and preventing them from roaming around is exactly the right thing to do.
what a bunch of rubbish.

>Cats do a lot of damage to local wildlife.

even if they were doing it, the damage by cats would be incomparably lesser than damage by humans that live in the same village, town, ranch, etc...

Actually, cats are protectors of the wildlife. Whenever cats are removed (it happened on more than one occasion that such idea got implemented by the stupid human race), the wildlife gets significantly damaged by rats, rabbits, etc... (the rats what humans bring with them as a little bonus as if all the other damage wasn't enough)

>Keeping your pet cat under control in Australia and preventing them from roaming around is exactly the right thing to do.

yep. Otherwise the pets would damage the wildlife which is happily roams around where people live. Are you kidding? Or just too lazy to think?

Cats definitely kill native wildlife. There is no doubt that this happens.

You are correct that they may control other introduced species. But that is not an excuse to let introduced species run around uncontrolled. Also this is not a sure thing. If you are in Sydney, there are no rabbits running around suburbs and the rats do well to stay out of sight. Are you suggesting that the local cats will search out rabbits and rats instead of try and hunt the local birds (which I have seen cats do)?

All the introduced species need to be controlled, even if they can help with other introduced species.

I'll be over shortly to piss on your car.

Does that make any sense to you? The cat's happiness cannot come at the expense of damage to someone else's property.
