I don't necessarily disagree with him either, but I think he misunderstands the point of the article, which was to make cat owners aware of the amount - mara Jan 31, 13:32 7
- Those aren't *bird* feeders. They are predator admiration stations. -- nm - landbeck Jan 31, 13:34 2

  - Heh, yeah. I used to watch my brother's cat leap straight up to catch birds at their Predation Station. -- nm - mara Jan 31, 13:37
- Everyone knows what the solution to this problem is, right? Declaw the cats. nm - Jim Jan 31, 13:34 1
  - hee. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:34
- my friend was laughing that her cats destroyed the entire local chipmunk population in a month. - loosilu Jan 31, 13:34 1

it's an invasive species. at least acknowledge what you're doing. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:28 11
- well, it is, but it's an invasive species that has been here as long as non-native to north american humans have been. so. -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 13:29 9
  - NZ is a different situation though. It's an isolated ecosystem with no native bird predators. - Roger More Jan 31, 13:40 4
    - see, that makes a huge difference. -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 13:43
    - oh yeah, I think they're justified in banning cats, honestly. the birds have been devastated. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:42 2
      - I don't know about banning - rats eating bird eggs have probably done more damage. But they should definitely be aware that cats aren't really part - Roger More Jan 31, 13:47 1
        
        if most people could be persuaded to keep the cats inside, it might work. - loosilu Jan 31, 13:52
  - that doesn't make it ok. We stopped whaling and killing walruses because it was bad. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:30 3
    - what do you propose? -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 13:32 2
      - legally ... nothing. but I do encourage people to keep the cats inside. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:32 1
        
        which andie is already doing, so this whole thread is moo. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 13:34
