Australias big pussy cat problem

Well ok you guys o/s have true big cats, so this is 'small fry' for some, but this is a domestic pussy cat after a number of generations gone feral. Australian natives have little defense, not evolved for big predators like this so these ferals have the run of the place, getting bigger & meaner with each generation.

If youre wondering about our depleted wildlife, its estimated there are around 10million feral cats in the wild here & the stomach contents of this one had 2 sugar gliders & a velvet gecko - times that by 10mil & consider thats the DAILY toll from cats... then we have Cane Toads up north too...

How were cats introduced to Australia?

On second thought, scratch the above comment. Doesn't matter anyway.

How about this idea? Make a government committee called the BCM (Bureau of Cat Management).

Round up and capture 45,000 to 50,000 of the feral cats and keep them in holding pens for the rest of their lives.

That should about solve your problem, right?
