Predation is not necessarily a bad thing.
Over the years man has reduced the predator population...the feral cats are filling a vacancy we created.
Not really.
They aren't really preying on the same animals say wolves and cougars went after..
Birds, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks...all eaten by both of those predators.
But I'm not just talking about the largest north american predators...think about lynx, foxes, mink, weasels...pretty much anything that would kill and eat domesticated fowl...have been reduced in numbers.
