Domestic cats are cherished human companions, but a new study shows the enormous breadth of species the felines prey on when they are left to roam freely
Is this gonna be another bunch of morons blaming pet owners and their pet cats instead of the feral colonies?
It’s a stupid, pointless argument.
Only two ways to deal with this, catch-spay-release, or catch-kill.
Nature has a tough time restoring balance because cats can more easily live in developed areas, where their natural predators cannot.
I much prefer Catch-spay-release, but it costs money. So I urge everyone to support their local organizations that use humane methods to control the feral populations.
Edit: Like I said, morons. Y’all just want to pick a fight and feel superior instead of actually addressing the real problem.
Domestic cats are descendants of a specie that was native to the fertile crescent so unless you think that feral colonies appeared by magic then yes, cat owners are 100% the people that should be blamed.
Here we go…

Bob Barker is turning over on his grave.
Where do you think feral colonies originate?
Also, I can blame both. Owners need to keep cats indoors, not just for the environment but for the cat’s own health and safety.
Cat owners
Pet owmers absolutely do damage too, let’s not pretend they are blameless here.

Let’s also ignore that glysophate based pesticides are known to fuck up the ecosystem and make things housecats prey on weaker and easier to catch.
