Thanks to groups like Alley Cat Allies, outdoor and feral cats have become above the law. Neighbor B tells her that his cats wouldn’t be happy indoors, that cats’ hunting is “natural,” and that he has no intention of keeping his cats inside. What birds need is their own SWAT team. It’s time for this to end.

The other day, Minneapolis, Minnesota passed a feral cat ordinance. So I put together a “carnival” (of sorts) of Feral Cat Ordinances and Issues that samples current events across the US. From the Star Tribune : Feral cats win a round at Minneapolis City Hall. This got me wondering what other cities were doing.

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. Which would be even worse.

What I mean by “cruel”, I mean hunting other animals for sport and not survival, harassing or killing members of it’s own species that are different, having wars, etc. submitted by /u/TangentMed [link] [comments]

For once, eBird gives a good description of the Asian Glossy Starling, calling it a “Fierce-looking, large songbird” As are humans, this species is fairly urbanized – it “sometimes enters urban areas to roost, e.g. in Singapore” (HBW). Lucky ducks. Next to me, a local birder tried to get a photo of a Common Iora.

There is a family of feral foxes that I often encounter near Bennison Creek. Foxes were introduced to Australia in 1855 for hunting and have established themselves far and wide. However, we all understand that the guides are there for human reference and not birds! Bennison Creek Bridge. White-eared Honeyeater. Tiger Snake.

In addition to historic habitat loss and hunting, Nenes face introduced predators such as mongoose and feral cats. Despite their population increases, Nenes will probably need human help to survive far into the future, and they remain the world’s rarest goose. Still, these geese face significant population threats.
