Actually, Cats kill more birds than all other things combined and Europe is “infested” with cats who are considered pests by the zoologists and bio-diversity activists.
So true! I know here in the US we have many trap, neuter programs to deal with feral cats. Sadly not enough. Many people just feed them and don’t think to fix them at all and it’s sad. Myself I’ve trapped 15 cats in my neighborhood over the last few years and so far no new kittens anywhere.
I would assume pesticides affecting birds natural food supply would have a larger effect that an invasive species. It's like arguing gun deaths would be larger problem in Afghanistan than famine
