GQshayne wrote:In my last post I commented on why the pet cat is a problem. It has nothing to do with responsible cat owners at all. The problem is that scientists are talking about the solution to the feral cat problem being biological control. Now we are a select group of people on here, many of us have hunted cats, and we know how hard it can be. They are an apex predator, with incredible senses, they remain solitary except for breeding, and hunt for fun. Hard to trap or poison with a bait effectively (to obtain proper reduction in numbers anyway), so the answer does seem to be biological.
And that will affect domestic cats. But we are the only continent that does not have a native small cat, so we have to do something. And soon.

No more cats and something proper to hunt in a few years - win, win and...ergh

The same issue raised its head when the calici virus was released.
But,,,, owners of pet rabbits were able to get them inocculated/vaccinated against the calici I believe.
Surely this could also apply to "responsible" cat owners if they exist.
