Cats v Wildlife

[Gary Prentice]

"It's a shame but the cat is just doing what is natural to it."

 

A dog catching and killing a cat is only doing what is natural to it.

 

Is that ok as well then?

 

Don't know about that, our dogs sit with our cats and watch the foxes at the back door.

 

I'd better tell them that they shouldn't get on.

Get a catapult!

if its not sh**ing in the veg patch its killing with cats.

 

give the carcass to the owner of the cat.

 

 

Don't be upset when you get what your asking for with that attitude.

Yes and take it out on a lead if you want it to go outside. We had to net everything in our garden to stop the bl**dy things using it as a toilet and I had to stop feeding the birds as the cats think I am just attracting them for their entertainment. Cats can exist indoors with a litter tray, friends of mine had a couple of very expensive ones and they never went outside.

 

 

Humans can exist inside, live a vegan lifestyle, and wear hemp underwear.

 

Not very appealing though is it?

They kill birds, Bats, s"*t everywhere and the owner gets no comeback on them.

If we were to do any of the above we would be straight to court.

 

It's great to know that European Protected Species legislation is doing its bit eh?

 

So you have to apply for a license to undertake works that may affect proteceted species, but you can freely own animals that kill protected wildlife unmonitored.

 

Can you tell I'm not a fan of Cats? (and they stink too).

Our neighbour has 12 cats (and counting) so we get no birds in our garden. I detest them.

We used to have a lovely cat when I was a kid. Dignified old gent a tom cat. He still took his fair share of wildlife though. Had another cat as an adult, which was just as murderous and pissed in the house. It was rehomed and I've vowed never to have a cat again - they are just so very inferior to dogs.

Tree surgeons are NOT the major predator of song birds.

If I don't fell that Conifer hedge in May then some-one else will.

By destroying a few nests I'm not destroying the adults though unlike cats who destroy EVERY bird.

Keep cats inside or on a leash or better still, keep no cats.

Cat lover or not, It's something to think about especially at nesting time.In New Zealand it could be a big problem because of the flight less birds. The feral cats are going to be the worst problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my favorite film of all time is avatar 2.

One idea I've heard is putting a small bell on a cat's collar, especially during key nesting and fledgling months.
