    That power line fed some houses. It’s an old wooden residential line, they also usually have redundancy because these things have to be serviced all the time.

    It’s crazy how many people in here are like “FUCK LIFE UTILITIES ARE MORE IMPORTANT” no wonder we’re in an age of heartlessness where people don’t care about harm to innocents.

      Holup now,

      That’s not what i said, first of all, i’m not familiar with what i assume is american infrastructure, so i assumed worst case scenario and went with it being some important bit for them to refuse it being turned off.

      Second, i didn’t say “fuck that cat he shouldn’t have gone up ther in the first place”, i said:

      if they can get that cat out without cutting power it might save a whole district from power loss

      Which is a whole nother thought.

      I understand your reaction to this poor cat being stuck up here, and i could also have assumed that if it has been going for 4 days, they might not be able to save the cat without the power grid operator doing something, which is a relevant argument which i maybe should’ve taken into account

      But you simply can’t go around telling people they are sociopath when they just propose we take the (at the time) seemingly more practical route.
