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
(not YOU. you know what I mean) -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:28
