I have no problem with that. I can accept farm dogs and cats running loose, they're working animals, even if they just lay around most of the time. Cats catch mice and moles, dogs chase away coyotes. If one wanders off the place and gets taken out, bad luck. If it develops an appetite for the neighbors poultry, shoot it.
In the city and suburbs, animals should be kept on the property or inside an apartment by whatever means are necesssary, unless they are on a leash.
