Good morning Frances and everyone
I am not trying to make a judgement on this at all but did see a show
about a year ago on Discovery I think. It told of domestic cats in this
country killing off a good percentage of the native birds and animals. I
think it quoted 8 million or more cats and said they kill an average of
a bird or two a day apiece(some up to 100 a month apiece) and that they
were decimating the wildlife. I might have the figures wrong but not the
story.
