My last and longest serving dog got taken by a snake, dogs take so long to bring up and they serve no useful purpose in the urban environment.
Kill all cats.

I adore cats.

Why???

That's a good question.

I've got three cats, and they're like little human children once you know and understand them.

They are close to being a perfect finished product of evolution just like sharks are. There's nothing more they need to evolve to be the perfect killing machines that they are.

You want to save a small percentage of Australian wildlife from feral cats.

Why???

How many people living in Australia go out of their way to see our native animals in the bush? 2%? 5%?

We are cat foster carers for the RSPCA.
This occurs because cat owners are irresponsible.

I go out to see the native animals.
Even if no one did, the native animals should be allowed to live.

imho

Great post Sprint .I love that you foster cats...they get such a raw deal from people and have done forever. We need many more people like you.

I am getting my cat this month from a cat shelter and she has had a terrible life..she has been chipped vaccinated and desexed...and loved by a carer to re socialise her after her terrible life on the street, she was found starving ( Skin and bone) with a litter of starving kittens. I am ready to spoil her rotten of course...

No one animal is the problem.. man is the the biggest problem and danger to our world.

The voice of reason mantra and you are right.

The once or twice I have owned dogs and chickens, they use to attack my chickens.just mauling them and leaving them half alive..no cat I ever owned ever did that..

Unfortunately terriers do kill chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits etc. It's in their DNA.

For all my whinging about cats AG, if they're cared for - they get a sense of what they're allowed to kill.

I opened the back door for the cat the other night and he rushed in with a big rat in his mouth. He's so quick. Thank God the rat was already dead. When they're alive he wants to play with them inside and they always escape.

He knows now that if he dares touch a bird or even looks at it the wrong way he'll be in trouble - so he sticks to rodents. He brings frogs and lizards inside occasionally, but holds them in his mouth gently so they're not hurt.

yes, would have been a cat.

I trapped 4 cats who were roaming around our place.
Within a week we had many birds in our backyard who were not there before.

Cats are a very intelligent animal and they quickly come to know these boundaries...you are right.

now that made me lauugh, cods had a cat, I dont know if she still does, but he used to love to bring rats home as well. But a rat loose in your house mantra...scary.

That is so sweet...he doest want to hurt them. I really admire the skill set of a cat, even though it is the one thing they are hated for by conservationists...they are the ultimate hunter, voted the single most deadly and efficient hunter in the whole of the animal kingdom-the domestic cat.

That they might occcasionally take a native species is incidental to me.. they only really kill what they need to survive.. and you cannot hold that against any animal..they would not go into a chicken pen and maul a bird for fun..they do this to mice sometimes and rats...but they do eat it eventually.they are playful and have a macabre sense of fun sometimes..yes.

They are very friendly and will love you til the end...they are intelligent,and deserve to be looked after by intelligent pet owners who love them enough watch out for them. They have saved whole families from burning house fires, intruders etc.they will guard you/a family the same way a dog would..but a cat would never turn on the annoying toddler in the family and kill the child one day, out of the blue. like a dog often can.I dont hate dogs because of a bad few..I wish pp would do the same for cats...

I don’t hate cats, let me right now. Prefer dogs tho.

But cats stray and some strays become feral.

If all cats are neutered there is no increase in the feral cat base and their numbers can be reduced and controlled (elimination of all feral cats probably impossible now.)

Cats are too small to really harm a small child or (careless parents and kids not reading the signals from the cat) imagine a cat the size of a labrador tho.

Sprint

If it werent for the fact that these birds are quite large , at least a Seagull and quite possibly Albatross, then I might say mmm maybe. But these are big birds and cats do not hunt in packs -these are a fresh kill, all the birds have been killed at roughly the same time due to the uniform state of decay..most likely the work of men.. and I doubt even a dog come to that there are just too many if done by any animal in fact~ would only be one or two birds at most if killed by a cat or a dog ..

Dogs hunt in packs cats dont . Dogs and cats do not rip off heads either..the heads on these birds have been pulled off.
