Australia’s feral cats are not so cuddly!

Oh give me a break. Tired of humans blaming cats for human mistakes. How much of the native wildlife did humans completely wipe out or put on the endangered list from moving in, deforestation, or your damn crocodile boots. Seriously. Screw you Animal Planet for buying into and promoting the lies.Crocodiles aren’t having a population problem. And the crocodile meat and leather comes from crocodile farms for the most part.

They aren't blaming the cats for human mistakes. They said in the video that cats aren't native to Australia, that cats were brought to Australia by humans. Yes, the large amount of animals being killed is due to the feral cats becoming overpopulated and having no real predators, but humans were the cause of that. What they're trying to figure out is how to deal with the situation at hand, not where to place the blame. How it became an issue is irrelevant; what matters is now is how this issue is resolved.

how is culling them animal cruelty and they are threatening the survival of indigenous species? So that is ok? Then these same groups will just add these reptiles to the extinction list and think nothing of it. Nature is about balance and prevention is better than having another ecosystem destroyed again by the folly of humans....i say cull half not a third. These feral cats exist because they were not wanted by the very humans who brought them. The responsible thing to do would be to correct a mistake.
