Man, everytime I turn around...there's another wildlife crisis...and I thought I knew them all from working for WCS...
maybe people should be able to buy contraceptive darts to shoot the cats with, so they wouldn't reproduce...just a thought...non-native introduced species affecting native species is a problem worldwide now...I had no idea feral cats were such a problem in Wisconsin...wow...little songbirds flying from South America just to land in Wisconsin and become lunch for millions of feral cats...but I can't believe shooting cats is the answer...
people expanding into animal territory often results in less protection for the animals...think bison...and now people jog on mountain paths in cougar country...there are ways to coexist though, I hope it all gets worked out...
I am reminded of a story about a guy who came to America and brought with him every bird in Shakespeare's plays...and now the starling is everywhere, successfully multiplying and crowding out native birds...they are everywhere in NYC..I'm pretty sure that's the story, someone check it out, I'll look it up..
Peace
