That really filled me up. I suppose it is because living alone, no one has said that to me for years.
Sad, emotional wreck aint I. "

But did they include pictures of birds (and reptiles and all manner of small native wildlife) ripped to shreds, suffering and dying in agony due to cats ?
In vast numbers. ?
A bit gruesome for a small child - but it is reality.
Perhaps, confronted with that reality, we might breed a generation who actually care and are prepared to act.
Sorry Julie but that is the situation.

Has she seen it ?
Blaming humans is right - up to a point.
But we can do that from now to doomsday and it will not solve the problem.
Culling cats will !
Cats are an introduced species - not native - not 'natural' to the region - and native species have no instinctive defence against them.
Particularly in vast numbers.
Said before, would you do nothing if an escaped lion was ravaging a school yard ?
Well, the 'cat' would only be doing what came 'naturally'.
No, you would do what you had to do to protect the kids.
Same thing with native wildlife.
