I find it astonishing that people argue of whether feral cats are bad for birds in North America. The plethora of approaches to the feral Cat problem is not an outcome of a diversity of great ideas; it is the ugly chimera of inappropriate compromise among biased and often poorly informed stakeholders.

There probably wouldn’t be a need for all this attention if there wasn’t still so much hostility toward rosé, or – to adopt a more cynical stance – if there wasn’t so much of the stuff to sell to reluctant drinkers put off by its reputation as an overly sweet fad.
