Eight-year-old ginger cat Juniper might look cute and fluffy, but appearances can be deceptive."I don't know how prolific - because I never saw all of her kills."
That "part of what cats are" is why advocates say Australia needs to get a grip on its free-roaming felines. Prof Sarah Legge from the Australian National University says cats were "the primary contributor" to the extinction of two-thirds of the 33 Australian mammal species lost since colonisation. But restrictions vary widely and there are no containment laws at all in Western Australia or the most populous state, New South Wales .
Tweed Shire Council in northern NSW is one of the only areas in the state which designates some suburbs close to sensitive wildlife sites cat-free.
Are they roaming the suburbs in packs armed with flick knives?
Killer Cats,,lol
I know how about introducing billions of non- indigenous mice, rabbits and whatnots too? - Hooray!
Remember what happened when Pope Gregory IX declared cats to be satanic and they were almost exterminated in Europe. The rat population increased massively and enabled the spread of bubonic plague, which wiped out half the European population. Religious nutters!
Cat curfews ! Try enforcing that.
What this article missed is what the spread of toxoplasmosis also does to our native species. Toxo invades the brain of small mammals and removes the fear inhibition making them easier pickings for cats, foxes, birds and dogs.
Can the UK curb the Tories?
Just how many people have they taken out...and if so was it a catract killing.....
The 2 legged mammals cause more issues, maybe they will lock them down again...
Depends, are Australians allowed to speak bad about the cats and all the killing they are doing?
Not quite *dead cats* …. but close 🤔
Last week, killing cats for Covid, bird flu the next plandemic, see where this is going
I didn't know things were this bad.
My first thought was, 'Too bad they are not being used to take on the rabbit and rodent problems...' But the latter is part of how they got there in the first place.
