alt Hacker News> The risks come with the territory
To be clear here, the “territory” here is letting your pet free roam off of your property and expecting everybody else to be cool with that?

Yes. Believe it or not, that's fine for cats. "Everybody else" is by far the biggest risk. Not cars, not animals.
It's always so frustrating when you've been doing something for 15 years, speak from experience, and then someone comes along and says "Well, that's bad!" Sure. Meanwhile, my cat comes home happy and healthy each night, unless "everybody else" decides to steal him in the guise of doing him a favor.
Verified microchips during vet appointments would cancel out this exploit.

Exactly. Please keep cats indoors - they kill all the local wildlife.
I have a cat and it stays indoors exclusively.
