I know you're relatively new to this forum Corbin, so you should be(come) aware that AGN is a pretty large audience. Said large audience includes all types, including a wide variety of dispositions, experience and education levels, and lack of aforementioned assets and liabilities; every one protected by varying cloaks of anonymity. Unfortunately for Mother Nature, some humans wreak havoc on desirable creatures by being uneducated about how destructive Man can be through misguided sentimentality(s).
Many folks, even some shooters and hunters, remain ignorant about what a scourge feral "house"-cats are to not only songbird populations, but other desirable species. However, wildlife management folks are in virtually unanimous agreement that 1) Humans are responsible for exploding feral cat populations, 2) Where feral cat populations explode, small game populations are decimated, and 3) To paraphrase in sensitive terminology how most wildlife management professionals adamantly feel about feral "house"-cats, they almost unanimously recommend "controlling" feral cat populations...
vigorously! The only thing you should feel bad about, G, is being unaware that some shooters remain uneducated about how counter-productive misguided sentimentality can be to desirable wildlife species. Several scientific studies on the subject have exposed Fluffy as an
indiscriminate killer. Correction- a blood-thirsty mass-murderer!
I finally found the
'Cat Tales' article I mentioned to you recently G; now more pertinent than ever. And although it might not change any minds predisposed to rejecting Feral-Cat Reality, hopefully it allays any
misplaced guilt feelings you might have about doing the world a favor.
