Invasive 'species'

They’ll get my meezer-cat when they pry him from my cold, dead hands. 🙂
Cat sez: And don’t you forget it!
the damage that cats cause in terms of hunting and killing birds and other wildlife was enough justification to consider the animals invasive.
PACIFIC had no comment on an another invasive species inflicting great damage on birds and wildlife, WIND FARMS.
and like any successful alien invader species,
cats quickly asserted dominance over the native species on Rock 3
Invasive 'species'
Cats think of us the same way.
Australia, isn't that where they have those mouse plagues?

Taste like chicken.

There ought to be a bounty on those critters.
That makes them sociopaths. Some can be very charming.
Few are useful, though my kin who have a farm, harbor many barn cats. They keep the mice out of the feed. I hear they're helpful on ships too.
Really?
IF I had a farm, I’d except the cats living on my land, but I’d provide zero care, shelter or benefit to them.
My cat is quite a good mouser. She takes them into the bathtub where they can’t climb out and plays wiht tehm until she kills them — unless I come along with a large container, scoop the mouse, slap a lid on, and take it outside.
It used to amuse my wife.
In the neighborhoods where I’ve lived, crows were the worst predators of song birds.
And if the cats didn’t do that, the respondents home would be drenched in rat droppings, food would be destroyed, their homes would be needed to be fumigated for insects, and the birds would eat almost all of the fruit from their trees. Not to mention viruses from birds, and their dropping, and rat viruses.
Just need to keep cat populations down. Wonder why no one has invented safe implantable birth control for cats.
Yes! Damn infernal invasive species!
If the radical greenies get their way (and they have been for decades), there will be TENS OF MILLIONS of those wind machines all over the USA.
Good bye vistas, good bye birds, good bye raptors, good bye beneficial insects, and good bye bats.
Hello unreliable and high-cost power, ten times more copper and rare earth mineral consumption, thousands of new open-cast mines around the globe, tens of millions of tons of impossible-to-recycle blades, and low-frequency thrump-thrump-thrump infrasound.
its just convenient for them to blame the dogs
it being the once-great State of Californication,
many of those “toxic waste” droppings are not from the canine population
“I’ve also see the destruction a week like Kudzu - also known as “mile a minute” b/c it grows so fast “
I think I was ten when in about 1964 I read an article in the newspaper about how horrible the erosion was being caused by the new federal highway system then being built. Honestly, they wrote it like by the time the highways were finished there’s be no soil left in America. But a government scientist had found a plant to cover all of the exposed ground, called Kudzu, at an astonishing rate. I put the paper down and said to my mom, “I think someone has failed to think this kudzu thing through.” Mom laughed and said something like, “There’s nothing dumber than an academic and there’s nothing more dangerous than an academic working for the government.”
