Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Quora is a very very bad source. You'll find threads there in support of the flat earth! It's as real as asking your neighbors knowing that none of them actually know and everyone is just repeating their own anecdotes. I on the other hand quoted UC Davis Veterinary Medicine. All the threats I mentioned are in fact very real.
You offer fanciful counters like the cars won't be a problem if the driver stops! You are just trying to justify your outdoor cat which will die sooner than mine.
What cat? Rural traffic doesn't follow your expectations, which you seem to have a lot of. Cars are not some constant flow here as they are in the cities, in fact kids here sometimes play frisbee over the road. Define what constitutes a good source to quote and I will quote one in my defense that fits your definition, because the big deal everyone is making it out to be is exaggerated.
