[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we were to stop predation in cats, the rodent population would spiral out of control.  "Killer cats" are predator cats.  They are part of the natural food chain.

Do you see all the posts in Off Topic about mice and rats?  Do you not see the value of the cat as predator?  Put a bell on every cat and watch your rat, mouse, and vole population spiral out of control.  Look forward to mouse droppings and the wires on your car being eaten.

Ridiculous post.[/quote]

Wrong, just wrong. They are not part of the natural food chain here. They are an [b]introduced[/b] predator. [/quote]

Who cares?[/quote]

Because those birds pecking at the grass or teaching their babies to fly haven't evolved to deal with feline stalkers.[/quote]

Give me a break.  There is a pair of nesting cardinals that comes every year to my yard.  They TERRORIZE my cat.[/quote]

The plural of anecdote is not data.[/quote]

You are missing the point.

You seem to think that prey should only be subjected to what it is "evolutionarily" designed to be hunted by.  Are deer somehow"evoluntionarily" designed to be shot by hunters?  Or should we stop shooting them because guns are not native to North America?

Birds are at risk of predation, regardless of whether they are "evolutionarily" ready or not.  Evolution happens whether you like it or not.[/quote]
