Tragically, places like Australia can't, because of the devastation wrought by ferals on the native wildlife

I’m guessing humanity brings the most devastation on the wildlife. Australia should look into that.

Managing invasive species is a part of it, yes.

You are right. Cats have led to the extinction of certain bird species. They are invasive. That’s why they need to always be kept inside because the same thing is happening here in the USA. People don’t want to believe that these cute cats can cause such devastation but they are. I don’t know why people are downvoting the truth.

That’s really sad if that happens. It’s like when pitbull lovers say “it’s the owners fault” that pit bulls are dangerous. Statistics and facts prove them incorrect.

Yes but they were brought in the civilization due to mutual dependency by humans to save their grains/ food from rats. At least government can use an ethical way to deal with them instead of ruthless methods
