Of course, the government will have to ensure that all domestic cats are inoculated (immunised) against the disease that they’re going to spread amongst feral cats.
I have no idea how they’re going to target just feral cats with an artificially created germ while avoiding all the other native wildlife species about which they are so desperately concerned and which they say is being wiped out by the dreaded feral cat.
If the plan is put into action it is liable to backfire extremely badly. They realise they have to do a lot of work on this in order to make it work but just thinking about it to me indicates a desperation and a hatred for the feral cat, which they put there in the first place.
Mr Hunt, the environment minister, has called for a survey to study how to use a virus to eradicate feral cats. Professor Woinarski, the co-author of a study into the impact of the feral cat on native species says that a virus was “probably the long-term solution that we’re looking for.”
He also states that: “it may take 10 or 20 years to develop such a system. In the meantime species will disappear, mammal species will disappear.”
He admits however that people aren’t aware of the magnitude of the problem and that he thinks that the Australian native mammals simply can’t cope. Note that he thinks this might be the case. It does not know.
As I understand it, the study estimates there are 15,000,000 feral cats in Australia with each killing an average 5 animals a night. Once again I stress that these are estimates. Based on these estimates the Australian government appear to be giving the go-ahead to slaughter the entire population of feral cats in Australia with a virus while ensuring that all other species of animal including the domestic cats are safe.
It smacks of madness to me. What do you think?
Every now and then, periodically and routinely the Australian authorities wheel out the usual diatribes and rants about the feral cat and how savage and effective they are at killing native species. They flounder in trying to find a solution.
What about a mass, well coordinated and well funded trap-neuter-release programme across the entire country? That would at least be humane and I suggest it would also be more effective. The timetable would certainly be within the 20 years mentioned to carry out mass extermination through what I seems like germ warfare.
NO sane person in the world wants to get a bunch of sociopathic and psychotic cat-lickers invading their personal lives. All that do learn this lesson learn it far far too late.
Take this most recent example, a loving veterinarian who tried to save the life of a sick cat from one of their outdoor hoarded TNR colonies. These sociopathic and psychopathic wastes-of-flesh cyber-bullied this caring and loving veterinarian to suicide.

Google for: LOEWS HOTELS FERAL CATS, if people don’t believe what these psychotic cat-licking whack-jobs do to everyone on the planet.
Another replay of what these cat-licking cyber-bullying sociopaths do, Google for: CATS VENICE COMPLEX REPRIEVE
A $150 million renovation project for low-income housing, put on hold, jobs lost, money lost, homeless still homeless, court costs and lawyers, just to save a few of their feral vermin c-Rats. And the saddest part of all, the vast majority of these TNR’ed cats had already died heinous inhumane deaths from TNR-practitioners’ “humane death by attrition” re-abandonment philosophy. (Road-kill, diseases, parasites, injuries, environmental poisons, cat & animal attacks, exposure, etc.)
Similar scenarios can be found daily and weekly by Googling for feral cats and churches, universities, hospitals, shopping centers, malls, apartment complexes, etc. Cat-lickers delusionally believe that any land on which a cat has stepped-foot is their own property and they can manipulate and control the owners and all laws on it.
This is precisely why everyone is learning to destroy all cats on their properties as quickly and quietly as possible. Telling nobody beforehand about any cats even being there. Long before these psychotic cyber-bullying cat-licker sociopaths and psychopaths get wind of the cats. Shoot (or trap & drown) cats first — tell no-one later. The only thing worse than feral cats are feral cat-lickers. You can legally shoot the former, not the latter. You need to pay lawyers and courts to get rid of the latter. THEN you can get rid of their cats. And the sad part is, that’s EXACTLY what happens, each and every time.
People are wising-up. If ANY cats are around they destroy every last one of them first, before they make any other move. Before these cyber-bullying cat-lickers can do anything about it to try to destroy and waste everyone’s lives even more than they already have with their disease-infested invasive-species vermin cats. Not quite the results that these cat-lickers had intended, but that’s what they’re getting! 🙂
LOL!! Too effin’ funny!
You useless idiots have been trying to find out who I am for over 3 years now. For the longest time you were firmly convinced I was any of 5 to 8 different people that you’ve hated for decades. You were wrong on all counts and are still wrong on all counts to this very day.
Here’s what I don’t get. If these psychotic net-stalking cat-lickers want to stop someone (me) from shooting all their cats, why are they going after someone they can’t even find and going through all that relentless net-stalking effort to do so? Is it because it is safe? Because they can always say, “We can’t find him to stop him! OH NO!” LOL
When today, this very hour, this very moment, you can go after someone and stop them, their friends, and all their families from shooting every last cat they see!
Here’s an even easier target for your false and manipulative accusations against others.

Just go after Ted Nugent. He, his family, and all his friends have shot far more HUNDREDS of cats than I ever have! Also all done perfectly legal as well. (I told you that you cat-licking fools don’t know squat about property and animal laws, and you refuse to believe it. Too bad, so sad!)
And you can find Mr. Nugent this very hour!
What’s the matter? Do you like to just blow smoke up everyone’s a** and not actually go after any real cat-killer? You know, ones that you can actually find, right now, today. LOL
Gosh, James.
How about we do lunch sometime?
I’ll pick you up. You pay.
OOPS! Forgot! You, cowardly, ran out on your B&B in Galveston and, probably, are broke now.
I’ll buy!
It is like something out of Assad’s Syria.
I think Dee has found out who he is. I’ll do a post tomorrow on it with photo.
Hello Woody, this time I’ll publish your entire comment because I want to write an article about you briefly tomorrow which will ask the question whether you are Jim Stevenson who went to court in Galveston I think it was and who now lives in Florida. Anyway, we have found some comments with a photograph of Jim Stevenson and I will ask a question in an article where this is you or not. Of course, you will deny it but it’s worth spreading the word anyway to see whether it helps to pin this down.
You really should actually come out and stand up and be known because if you did that and if you wrote comments in a more polite and sensible way then what you state may actually be read but at the moment hardly anyone reads your comments. All we read is the first 3 lines or your username and we know immediately it is Woodsman.
You are wasting so much time writing long comments that no one reads. Try and shorten them and waste less time. You always say the same thing so why not just write a master comment and cut and paste it into everything because that is all you do anyway. Perhaps you don’t work and therefore you like to waste time. Sad really.
