This guy is a total jerk and guilty of animal cruelty. First of all, the cats’ eyes are then exposed to wind and particulates, which can dry and irritate them. Secondly and most obvious, if he hits the brakes, they would slide off and perhaps be run over by his own vehicle or another passing car. Third, they are a driver distraction. This guy certainly has S for B.
You are right about this.
In my area, there used to be a guy who rode his motorcycle with his cat; claimed the cat ‘liked’ it.
A cat CAN be like a dog in some ways - trusting its owner enough to do whatever is asked. That doesn’t mean that it’s good for the pet or that they are enjoying it.
I feel the same way when I see people riding on bikes, with their dog on a leash trying to keep up. Dogs aren’t made for that kind of long distance jogging; they’re only doing it because Master asked for it.
