You do realize that your cat was licking his butt just before you opened that ice cream bar....

And that is why you need snakes. The cats are not the natural predator, but the snakes are. Too many of these are killed by people overreacting out of fear and ignaorance. And then they wonder why the rodents get out of control. See Chinas rat problem for reference.

I don’t think that having domestic and feral cats running all over is “letting nature take it’s course.”
What is this nonsense of trapping, neutering and releasing feral cats back into the wild. What utter stupidity. Kill all feral cats. They are bad news.

I agree. 2 BILLION dollars for the sake of 115 birds, of which there are millions of other close relatives everywhere? That's just plain retarded.
There was a time when the taxpayer had control of his wallet. How did all these enviro-mental cases get unlimited access to our pocket books?
If feral cats are a problem, declare open season on them and be done with it. Besides, feral cats are more of a threat to domestic cats, raccoons, fox and other furry critters with all the diseases they carry like feline leukemia's, parvo virus, mange, etc. they spread around.

I’m sure that 2 billion dollars is getting earmarked for something OTHER than saving the plover.
Please note, the target is a cat.
I guarantee you seagulls have more to do with the decline of the plover population than a cat does.

....white-and-brown fuzzball of a bird that has closed beaches and stopped development projects in the interest of protecting their habitat. Sounds like they need more feral cats, not less.

Most people in the country (no doubt where the birdwatchers watch birds) do NOT keep their dogs confined. That’s one reason why they move to the country—or so they say.

Dogs like to hunt. They like to hunt things that move. Everyone I know either complains about their dogs killing birds, or brags about it.

As I read the article, two billion is what birdwatchers spend in the state of New Jersey every year, not what the government is spending on the plovers.

I got Cat traps from the city and they would take them to the SPCA.
If someone’s property was caught, they could retrieve them.
A nutty neighbor started opening the traps to let the cats out.
I started shooting them!

I'm surprised you didn't get in trouble for shooting your neighbors!
