I didn't say they were totally innocent....but posting 'backup' from Wildlife and Bird web sites really doesn't prove anything because of the bias. Down here in Florida, our infamous Florida Wildlife Commission tried to get a law passed to be able to shoot all the wild cats legally....they were also caught on tape saying they can't wait to get out there and blow them away. Lovely bunch of people who also shot that tiger Bobo for no reason.
Cats will kill a bird, a mole a rat if hungry. I also saw a hawk in my own back yard not a month ago eating a dove alive. PS. How often do you spray your backyard or trees or ponds with chemicals? Down here in florida they spray mosquito repellant from air planes twice a years....I see dead birds under trees the next morning.
Have a good day.
Stay OUT of my mailbox.
And FYI, I allow NO chemicals in my yard.
EVER.
