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.

Also, in relatively natural, or wild, lands in much of the US the feral cat population will be limited by a healthy wild predator population. About 15 million birds are killed annually by hunters, and of course this is distributed among a very small number of species.

The whistling duck call carries with it the crimes of big business, the failures of governments and the ignorance of irresponsible hunters. With assistance from the Negril Area Environmental Protection Trust (NEPT) a boardwalk and nature centre have been established. They are also the rarest.

The huge population of feral cats undoubtedly is having a detrimental effect on our bird life. One of the biggest threats to Australia’s birds is the lack of control of predators that threaten them. Until the problem with invasive species is addressed they will always be at risk.
