Cats Will Not Take This Lying Down

[vulcanlogician]

They’re pushing for this all over Kiwiland as people want to protect birds from cats.  In a small community a number of cats disappeared and they ended up with an explosion of rodents eating birds, their eggs, and attacking nests.

But these morons don’t think like that.

When one of my cats catches a bird, I admit, I have to look away. I can hardly stand the sight of it struggling to escape. If I think the bird can escape, I'll even shoo my cat away. Long story short, it ain't a fun thing to watch.

But that shouldn't prompt a law forbidding cats. I seriously doubt that a bunch of cats are a threat to the birds' populations remaining at healthy levels. Like you, I suspect that it has more to do with squeamishness than rationality.
