Fair payback for all the songbirds killed by people's outdoor cats. [/quote]

Humans have killed a billion more songbirds with their homes with windows, and offices everywhere with the lights on all the time.
If you and your home went away there'd be a ton more songbirds - how about that?

The biggest killer of bald eagles is cars. Who drives those I wonder?[/quote]

+1  Cats will be cats.  Humans on the other hand . . . [/quote]

Cats are not native and they belong indoors. Songbirds haven't evolved to avoid cats, so it's not a fair contest and in fact cats have been linked directly to dozens of extinctions of bird species, that's right, extinctions. (I think it might actually be over 100 of species extinct, but I'd need to go look that up.)  Cats--pets and strays--are responsible for many multiples of the deaths attributable to humans via cars and windows. The research is unambiguous, and there really isn't any research saying the opposite.[/quote]
