But it is easy to send kids to go hunt them? Ok, Lets go back to the Mesolithic Hunter Gathers prior to 10,000 BC and just follow them.
If the Government can push for hunting (kids) then that same Government can have a policy to push for spay and neutering of every feral cat trapped.
It is a choice, I think the better of the 2 choices is to spay and neuter not call for kids to go hunting.
My comments are not ignorant, that is your opinion, there is nothing ignorant. There is a problem with feral cats in Australia, there is problem now with Feral hogs across most of the Southern USA, there problems with feral pythons now in Florida.
Feral Hogs, Cats and Pythons are not the same animals and can via government policy be handled differently. There are choices. Cats do not pose a threat to humans, Pythons do and Feral Hogs, especially females with young ones have attacked and killed humans.
They are when it comes to the predation of the natural wildlife where they have free reign to hunt without the control of humans........
And for what it's worth, At any given point in time, there are between 7.0 – 11.2 million cats spread across 99.9% of the continent: 1.4 – 5.6 million feral cats in the bush depending on rainfall conditions......
So how many Trap, Neuter and Release traps do you want to set up to control the problem?.............LOL!
