Video of feral cat eating albatross

Bird loss USA: criticise humans not cats. It is time for a reality check.

PoC avatarPosted on September 21, 2019 by Michael BroadSeptember 21, 2019

I for one have been fighting this battle for more than a decade. The sharp decline in bird species populations is mainly due to human behaviour. Yes, there are other factors, one of which is predation by outdoor cats but…it … Continue reading →
