More people die in/by car accidents each year than do cats.
If you are one of those who won't let his/her cat outside
because you grieve every time you see a dead one on the road,
do you also grieve every time you hear of a person killed in
a car?  If we are not going to allow cats outside because it's
too dangerous, than we, ourselves, can certainly not be allowed
to go outside.

I'm not being cold.  I am also sickened when I see dead animals
on the road, but that doesn't give me the right to take away
a part of my cat's life.
