Yeah .. If I was honest - I'm a complete Luddite ... I'd be happy to go back a few hundred years and live wthout the bullshit technology ... and live with quite a lot les human beings too (I have a list of people to exterminate ... ) .. but I think natural selection and natural stupidity would decrease the population quite quickly ...

Sorry thats not good eonugh, other humans have killed native birds, changing your ways is no longer an option, you have to leave. You see whats wrong with trying to have such a binary viewpoint yet?

[Zedder]

Thanks man, covered pretty much all I was about to write.

By all means call for neutering to reduce the amount of abandoned strays and feral cats, but calling for them to be gone altogether is a bit of a drastic way to counter only a small part of the problem.

I like all animals (except introduced pests) but we always used to get a laugh when the arrogant cats used to come over and try to take on the chooks.

Yep. Bizzarely enough, in the middle ages, pure black cats were pretty much wiped out because they were seen as "evil" due to their association with "witches" ffs.

We should wipe out humans too, because that species has a far greater impact on the environment than any other animal species. Selfish, greedy cunts with their toxic chemicals being released into the environment and mass habitat destruction.

[p.dath]

It's a reasonable suggestion - Cats will wipe out a lot of our native birds ... New Zealand as a cat-free zone is worth discussing ... they are just another introduced pest that thrives here ...

How do you plan to kill all the pests that the cats kill, which would otherwise cause a worse problem?

OFFS - you expect consistency in KB ??? But seriously? .. naaa ... don't do serious here ... (P.S. I teach Philosophy and Critical Thinking - don't teach your grandmother ...)

Which other pests that cats kill - apart from mice??

fuck there's a worry... Hopefully it's only at an arts college or something?

It's not an arts college ... and yeah ... fuck that is a worry ... but they pay me huge amounts of money so I can have bikes and boats .. so I don't argue ..

[awa355]

Hasn't this idea been tried before??? I seem to remember Rabbits, Possums, Magpies, Gorse, Blackberry. Poms .

Cant see cats disappearing in a hurry

Plato was a fascist ... I prefer Aristotle ...

Plato was a faggot ... I prefer Arseholes ...

Say what?

[BoristheBiter]

Why ???? There are only a few kiwi around ... cats will have an impact ... you get hung up on other people's shit ... I won't buy into Kerridge's bullshit ...

Kerridge is saying we should not get rid of cats because they ony kill a few native birds - I'm saying cats kill native birds - don't give a fuck how many - cats kill native birds, let's get rid of cats ...

What no-one is actually suggesting is how and when ... and everyoen is acting as if we go out and kill all cats tomorrow!

I suggest that we try to exterminate ALL feral cats (take quite a number of years .. they've never managed it with the deer population) and at the same time neuter ALL domestic cats so they don't breed - and outlaw any new cats from January 1, 2015.

Given the life epectancy of cats we should see the cat population start to decrease around 2030.

You just said you swerve around possums where possums have a greater effect on the native bird population than cats.

Let's see, mice, rats, possums, rabbits, weasels, stoats, ... shall i list some more?

Maybe you should stick to a profession that actually deals in facts.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with you!

That was my first thought - Kills birds, hard on the environment.

Dont take this the wrong way, but I agree, all it takes is the fitting of a bell on the cat , and the problem is largely solved
