I have commented on several articles that if you want to protect remaining native species you need a multi level approach, not just victimise cats.
A reduction in the human population, the creature responsible for so many extinctions, would be a good start.
But because we’re an arrogant species, saying something like that is almost taboo. Better to just scapegoat cats.
NZ also has other introduced species such as possums, rats, stoats, weasels and the like.
My cats rarely bother birds, and have only, as far as I know, only caught a native once. And all he did was ask for money for the bus and demand his land back!
