Hmm a highly controversial topic, irrespective of the field I work in.
With the chance of being berated, I don't think I'll be signing the petition. Look I am skeptical (it's my middle name), culling 2 million cats is not enough.
Trap neuter release programs have not been shown to work here, and even then they're released back into the wild where they don't belong to wreak havoc on wildlife.
I am all for the removal of feral animals from sensitive areas and islands.
Anyway, many things have been said by leading ecologists who study the affects of feral cats on wildlife.
How old is that petition because Abbott isn't even our PM anymore?
