[FONT="][h=5]Cats and Birds: A Bad Combination[/h]Outdoor domestic cats are a recognized threat to global biodiversity. Cats have contributed to the extinction of 63 species of birds, mammals, and reptiles in the wild and continue to adversely impact a wide variety of other species, including those at risk of extinction, such as Piping Plover.This is great news, but releasing them back into the wild just ensures these little non-native killing machines will continue to wreak havoc on the native fauna.
I imagine they didn't have any other options for removing the cats from the island. Maybe they need an ad campaign: "Adopt a St Barts cat and bring a bit of St. Barts home with you"
