All,

I have been on this forum for 14 years and have endured the anti-cat
and anti-dog manias in silence. They occur from time to time fostered
by insensitive and ignorant people who have no understanding of the
problems. I've also awaited an intelligent response to this issue and
it finally came from Ian Woodman. Thank you, Ian.

The article in discussion is titled, "Quantifying Human-related
Mortality of Birds in Canada". Place the emphasis on, "Human-related".
Like so many things we witness on media, facts are taken out of context
to fit an agenda. This is clearly the case with Mr. "All cats found in
the wild or loose should be killed". I expect Mr. "All cats found in
the wild or loose should be killed" also means we should be gunning
down loose dogs.

Feral cats have a life expectancy estimated at 3-4 years whereas an
indoor cat can live a long and happy life for up to 20 years. Clearly
if education of cat owners can=C2=A0show success=C2=A0then house cats will
cease to be a major problem. Feral cats will die off naturally in time
if their numbers are not replenished and they are captured and
neutered. The problem is replenishment of the feral cat population by
irresponsible people aka monsters. These are students who have cats
as=C2=A0pets during a semester because they are so cute but when they leave=
for home during the break or at the conclusion of their studies the cat
is redundant so it gets dumped in a field or left to die slowly in an
abandoned apartment. The home owner discovers to her horror that cats
scratch furniture so out it goes into a local wood to fend for itself.

cats.=C2=A0This new supply of abandoned cats comes from numerous sources
and continues to replenish the population of feral cats. It is probable
that more birds are killed naturally by avian predators such as raptors
and corvids, snakes, lizards and squirrels, especially during nesting
time when entire broods are wiped out. The mass die offs of birds
during migration should also be quantified and compared to
human-related mortality of birds to put things into a balanced
perspective. Unfortunately, a balanced perspective will compromise the
agenda. Humans are the problem and have always been the problem, not
cats.
=C2=A0
I have an empathy and respect for all living things including cats.
Indeed I have three cats, all rescued as kittens(see monsters above).
They don't go out and never want to go out. It's a myth that cats need
to roam.=C2=A0
