Save 28 birds, kill a cat.

I level warriors, I have 48 max level warriors.
Around here, sometimes a coyote will get a cat.

We should definitely work to keep the feral cat population under control, but I am more than happy that my fat cat catches a bird here or there that otherwise would've harassed me day and night outside my window.
So we breed coyotes to catch the cats! I see no way this could backfire!
I came here to say this, basically.
Not only are you putting other animals at risk because of your choice, your own cat has a MUCH GREATER chance of being killed or hurt outside.
I would never let my cat outdoors for even a second; he's such an important part of our family, and I couldn't bare the thought of him getting lost or hurt out there.
NYC sure could use some more cats.

Our furry little heroes. Last line of defence between humanity and the bird menace.
My two cats are indoor cats, but I take them out and walk around (and do a lot of sitting) for about an hour everyday. They want to catch those birds, but they never can xD
If one day they did, I doubt I'd let them harm it. Also, there's a rodent mammal around the area (I don't know what it is, really) but they don't hunt him, just look at it.
What they do kill is a few bugs but that doesn't bug me at all.
Good on them I say

We've been altering the cycle of life our entire civilized existence then, and yet the cycle continues almost as though it was fluid and adaptable enough to handle it and keep on trucking. But sure, go on with your overzealous proactive self that thinks we can fix the ecosystem 'somehow' and restore 'natural balance' which of course is impossible to measure.
If I were you I'd worry more about what all those wind turbines are doing to bird populations since that's something we can actually address, it's not like the lion's share of cats aren't spayed and neutered to begin with anyways so ya, look elsewhere if you want to be all save the ecosystems.
I'd say between our relatively high kill shelters and all the Chinese restaurants we don't have to worry about anything like that.

Eat meat. Drink water. Do cardio and burpees. The good life.
I had a cat who was essentially a warrior princess huntress, she lived to kill anything that moved. But she was clever, she always left a breeding pair so more would hatch.
She would cull these partridges that would flock near my house and always leave a boy and girl one left to breed.
On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism.

House cats are not a native predator, they kill billions of food animals for other, native species. How can that NOT be a problem?
Oh and
Cats are responsible for helping drive 33 species of birds, mammals and reptiles to extinction on islands, including the Stephens Island wren in New Zealand in the late 1800s, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Did you take a statistical sampling of your cat's kills?
All of these people in this thread saying "well MY cat never killed many animals!" makes me wonder if they followed their cats around 24/7. If not, there's a great deal your probably don't know about the personal hunting habits of a nocturnal creature with a fairly large territory.

I'm more concerned about the millions of perfectly healthy cats and dogs we put down each year because we don't have mandatory statewide spay and neuter laws. Fix that problem, which fixes the feral cat problem, which then fixes the bird problem.
