Anyway, shoot what you like. This comes up every now and then.

Ok...I shall just put this here for you to ponder and leave it at that ok? You believe that because cats eats lots of rats and mice and only a few birds when occasion pops up they are ON BALANCE doing ok for our ecosystem and good for the birds.... Do I have that about right???? Ok fair enough your entitled to believe what you believe. Ferrets,stoats and weasels came to our shores because they are great at eating rats,mice and rabbits.....so "somebody" who was thought to be clever about these things at that point in history believed they would be good for our ecosystem..............

Mickey Duck blame our early pommy settlers they wanted what they had back in pommy land to hunt- - dont mind pheasants and deer but rabbits really

Cam Speedy showed us a pic of 1 cat that had killed 17 short tailed bats in a few days, definetely not good for the ecosystem , old Ginger is not a good thing in the forest
