Cats in Australia Kill Over 2 Billion Wild Animals Each Year

[CouldntBeMeTho]

When cats roam free, small wild animals die. And the body count in Australia exceeds 2 billion native animals per year.

Environmental researchers in Australia compiled the alarming figure by combing through hundreds of studies on the predatory habits of Australia's free-ranging pet cats as well as feral felines. The scientists documented cats' historic and ongoing toll on Australian wildlife in the book "Cats in Australia" (CSIRO Publishing, 2019).

Humans really have no foresight at all. Our grandkids are going to grow up in an uninhabitable dustbowl like Interstellar.

It's not population control. They're essentially committing genocide on native species that are essential to maintaining the local ecosystem.

I gotta find but a guy put a gps tracker and camera on his cat in the neighborhood.

It showed cats are sociopaths, they kill for fun.

I think the cat killed like 10-15 critters that day.

Didnt eat any of them

When the aboriginals showed up there 50K years ago there were like 20 species of giant animals and they wiped out almost all of them lol. Kangaroos are pretty resilient though.
