We are responsible for domesticating and bringing them to different continents. what do we do about the cat infestations when they're making so many species go extinct without killing millions of cats? I'm not being overly critical I really just wonder how a person can expect to follow the Law of One perfectly if someone had a termite infestation in their house. This reminds me of something I read recently in a Seth book where he describes how humans have fanatical attitudes and their sureness about the value of life. we experiment on mice and rabbits for example because we consider them lesser life-forms but the truth is that if everything is conscious and if a life-form develop self-reflection then there is nothing but blind sureness that the mind of a small animal is worth less than a human mind. But we don't care. many people justify it because they assume that a human's life is just more valuable because they're more intelligent or something.
There are many things we could begin to do. Firstly, stop all experimentation on animals: if humans want to choose to be a part of a trial that's fine, but leave the poor rabbits and mice etc. alone. Stop creating zoos and fish aquariums, and all entertainment using animals (circus, etc.). Stop developing land for humans (including cutting down the rain forests) and leave environments for plant and animal life. Stop commercial animal factory farms. Stop doing things such as fracking, "controlled burns," using the oceans as dump sites, and other human-centric actions.
Act like caretakers of this world rather than plunderers.
As an individual, it is all about choices. If you have a choice between buying an apple and buying a plastic container of applesauce, a better choice is the apple (for a list of reasons).
The cat problem you speak of would have to be resolved naturally I think as we make changes, and allow the ecosystem to find some balance after all the damage we have caused.
