Feral Cats That Are Carrying Diseases

Killer Cats
The Federal Government has announced a ten year plan to effectively eradicate feral cats that are carrying diseases which are being passed on to sheep in Tasmania, with disastrous consequences.

This is fine.

Perhaps they can do the same with feral muslims?

Open season laws have been passed in several US states against feral cats. It's OK to shoot them, in fact their eradication is encouraged because they're incredibly good bird hunters and several indigenous US bird species are being threatened with extinction. Many states consider them wild animals anyway. The fact that they're feral isn't the cat's fault. It's the fault of stupid insensitive cat owners who refuse to have their animals spayed and neutered.

Australia is a special case, having no indigenous cats, so introduced cats cause problems. The same can happen in other isolated ecosystems that never had small predators like cats.

In the mainland USA, feral housecats have been here since the pilgrims landed. The concept of an "indoor cat" is fairly recent, coming along with the invention of cat litter. ("Someday, maybe Fred will win the fight, then the, cat will stay out for the night"). Yet magically, it's only recently that the cats have been exterminating bird species. Go fig. One wonders what suddenly changed them into unstoppable bird-exterminators.

The #1 threat to birds is people. The cats are being used as scapegoats. Habitat destruction and pollution are the bird killers.

Any dead cat is a good cat
