There's a lot of difference between cats killing sparrows, crows, pigeons, etc. and wind turbines slicing up eagles, condors, owls, etc.

Coyotes also like (to eat) cats. When nature has a problem, nature usually finds a solution.

They put the turbines along ridge lines that the migrations follow.

They’ll through you in jail if you pick up a shed eagle feather, but they pay you to install industrial bird grinders.

Typical government.

Our cats always preferred squirrels and rabbits.

Remember, house sparrows, european starlings, and rock pigeons are invasive, and you, or your cat, can kill all you want.

And who the hell is counting and how? Dear Susie, stop pulling random numbers out of your lovely behind, as I’ll defend the noble feline community till he very end!

This is the opening salvo on taxing cats for the “purpose” of restocking depleted bird populations.

Susie Neilson proves to be an idiot journalist writer. Windmills kill massive amounts of birds. There are 40 windmills near where we live in Maine. They company that owns them has an bird specialist come several times a week and collect the dead birds, which are kept in a freezer, bought for this purpose, for her to identify and catalogue. From birds of prey to sparrows, all local or passing species fall to the whirling blades. Well, sometimes whirling. Depends on the wind.

These stupid people are like 6 year-olds.

Trump is right about all of this except that the turbines do not kill all of the birds, just a lot of them and seemingly a large number of raptors.

The crap about cats killing “lots” of birds is also BS. I have 7 cats and maybe find evidence of a bird kill once a month in spite of feeding the birds and having bird baths and houses all over the place.

So... North America’s birds evolved under pressure from native wildcats, red foxes, tree-climbing grey foxes, egg and chick thieving squirrels and opossums, skunks, roost-robbing raccoons, prowling coyotes, weasels, booming post-DDT populations of cooper’s hawks and sharp-shinned hawks, not to mention constrictor snakes, and so on ... but house cats are somehow infinitely better bird hunters than native bobcats and lynx or these other natives?
