Get some cats running around your place or chickens and see how the environment changes and how quickly it happens. I’m sure they use a formula to come up with those numbers but you cannot deny the environmental changes will take place it’s just a fact.

You guys are all so beating a dead horse on this subject. I find it some what amusing.
There is so much irony in the discussion of the topic. Id like to have a chicken, get permission..
Can't be removing environmental restrictions in one place. Try putting something on an invasive list in another.
I don't care if your favorite big tough politician is red or blue. You want see those tough guys trip over their dicks trying to race out of a room. Ask them to do something reguarding the topic of this post. Watch the rats run.

Blah Blah Blah what your going get.

Huh?...

I was asked by the town here to see what could be done with a feral cat colony at a town beach and marina, Feds were giving them a hard time about it cause the cats were eating endangered piping plovers..... between the beach walkers, cat feeders, boat people and the lovers lane at night, there was no way to get the job done, plus the town wouldn't take responsibility if there was a complaint...far as I know the cats are still there.

don't bother with logic and reason , it doesn't work on crazy cat ladies and they have nothing but time to fight you

if they die fighting you and feeding 100 cats and the house has to be torn down because it is a health hazard , they get some special martyrs reward of 1000 free to feed cats that don't poop in cat lady paradise.

it's a disease but you get torn to shreds if you try and point it out.

I caught 23 feral cats @ one house, in a week!
The health department and village told them it's a health hazard to feed feral cats.
Wasn't a month later and there were a dozen again.
There's never any charges or anything done about it!
I look the other way, as any cat comes up missing, I'm the first one they ask about it!
I'm very quiet anymore!

There is a reason they sell .22 Lr in buckets!

Cats are one of the most efficient predators out there.

Population is on the rise around here...see them all the time now since fur prices dropped.

Tin Foil didn’t work?
Maybe a larger brim ?
