Nature will find a way to fix it, likely through disease.

On a positive note, I would assume that the mice are under control.

They went extinct in New Zealand when the Maori killed all the Haast eagle’s prey, the Moa, which were 400 lb+ flightless birds. Maybe the eagles only killed young moa.

I live in northwest Illinois near the Mississippi river. The bald eagles are think here right now.

I live in Central Illinois, it’s the same here along the Illinois River.

Just can’t get the image of so many in my head.

In NYC you aint lasting that long if you’re a feral.

On Staten Island, maybe you got six months.

Eat more pussy problem solved.

I’m a vagitarian myself.

[Oztrich Boy]

feral cats covering 99.8% of the country

That much? There wouldn't be any room for the rabbits, cane toads, sheep

[Graybeard58]

I’m seriously looking for a white cat

Whatchu got against black cats Willis? You is a racist.

So introduce some coyotes.

We enjoy watching the eagles along the river where we live. Yesterday two eagles were raising a ruckus behind the house as DH was outside "test driving" his new cast iron skillet.
I don't know if they like the smell of bacon or not, but one flew right over his head, over our deck, and landed in a tree about 15 yards away. I was standing on the deck looking him right in the eye. He kept chirping and calling to the other eagle for a few minutes, then off he flew. That's never happened in the 30 years we've lived here.

Cat lovers are DEMOCRATS!!! ANd FERAL CAT LOVERS are UBER DEMOCRATS!!!

Seek professional help.

"A common trait amongst mass murderers."

Wow, really?

About as accurate as saying all cat owners are mentally ill, senile elderly women.

Homeless urban nomad diet, new sensation sweeping the nation!

Just eat more pussy (cat)...

I don’t think that will sell very well with the general public.

[NorthMountain]

See UTE’s with cats loaded in the back going to cash in. Then quick freeze them and sell the meat.

Some people like to eat pu .... uh ... "kitty".

We’ve had serious proposals in recent years to introduce elephants to outback Australia to replace our lost megafauna.

Makes as much sense as camels in the American south-west. (That is to say, not a whole lot ...)

You’d think we’d learn...

There was a time when "rabbits in Australia" was a cautionary tale every American knew.

[dezrat]

Yes, really. Do your research.

Not in the least bit analogous, oh snarky a$$.
