How is a cat a danger to the green sea turtle?

As an avid pheasant hunter way back when, I just shot feral cats I would come across.

My neighbor has two feral cats, that she refuses to get rid of. They each weigh about fifteen pounds, and would kill my kids' chihuaha that weighs only three pounds, in a heartbeat. These cats are dangerous.

Another problem is several piles per day on the lawn, which is what I was getting until I trapped half a dozen of these little buggers and took them to the pound.

Kitty guano makes excellent fertilizer, though. Did wonderful things for my dad's marigolds when I lived at home :)

That species can remain endangered, for all I care.

What's really bad is when feral cats learn to drive.

The cats eat the hatchlings before they can make it to the ocean from their nests on land.

Yeah these bleeding heart liberals won't destroy these things and spend way too much money supporting them. Then when endangered species start dying they'll blame it on human activity and use it as an excuse to shut some business down or halt a development project.
