Cats

I am having security certificate errors with my firefox, so I can't refresh my memory about this article, but people who start whining about cats killing birds need to look at themselves: if they've moved into a previously wild area, and planted non-native species, they've pretty much starved the birds to death first. Easy pickings, then.

How about they're both bad and should both be changed? I can plant all the native species in the small bit of land I own but I can't keep my neighbor's cat from hunting on my property if they keep letting it out.
