    This post shows exactly why the domestic cat should be banned, it decimates the local wildlife, especially birds. Sad really. Get a dog!

    If cats could talk, they would just tell you lies. ;)

    So should ban humans? We do many more times as much damage to wildlife than the domestic, in fact considerable more damage.

    Academic research cant agree on how much harm mogs cause. Cats are/where a native species in this country so they would be killing wildlife regardless of domestication.

    If you really want to look after the bird population look at the effects of your own habits and behaviours as much as the domestic cat.

    This thread has been resurrected from May 2007. I sincerely hope that the person who started it got the situation sorted long ago!!

    Why has this thread been dragged up again after so long? V.Strange.
