    I had a neighbor who worked on cars in his driveway. Several neighborhood cats died before people realized what was going on. This was back in the 90s, though, and I don’t see so many outdoor cats nowadays.

      Let’s just be honest here and recognize that wasn’t an accident. He may not have intended to harm animals; but he was intentionally releasing toxic substances into the environment.

      (Illegally, I might add.)

      It’s one thing if you have a burst radiator hose or something where you can’t easily clean it.

      It’s something else if it’s a regular occurrence.
