    People who keep their kids inside but let their pets play in traffic are psychopaths.

    I know what I said.

        The linked article, like the person claimed.

        “We send our deepest sympathies to the cat’s owner and the community who knew and loved him"

        Picture of cat shows a collar, tag, and bell. It’s a pet.

          The linked Article doesn’t say anything about any pets. The quote you used is from Waymo, who didn’t know anything about the cat besides the fact that their robot car ran it over.

          The tag in the picture is a rabies tag, not an ownership tag. The collar is to hold the rabies tag, and the bell is attached to the collar.

          The article has quotes from several community members grieving the loss of the cat, yet not from any supposed owner and doesn’t even mention any owner. The cat is very obviously a local stray.

          Did you ask some AI to summarise the article? Because there’s no mention of it being a pet cat.

              Yes I read it, there is no owner mentioned in that article, and it was very obviously a stray cat.

              Your quote is just an example of the fact that Waymo has a canned, boilerplate template ready to go for when they run over an animal.

              Yes I read that. That’s the boilerplate statement from the company that is obviously factually incorrect.

              Work on your comprehension skills, it will help you in life.
