Poland declares cats are an invasive species

Cat lovers may not like this news: The Polish Academy of Sciences in Poland has declared that cats are dangerous, adding them to its list of “invasive alien species.” The institute isn’t alone: In some Icelandic towns, household cats have a curfew.
There is some damning evidence on why cats should stay inside. In the U.S. alone, housecats kill more than 2 billion birds each year, adding to the extinction of 63 different species. It’s this reason that makes cats a problem for the ecosystem, says Laura Helmuth, editor-in-chief at Scientific American.

In one study, Helmuth put small video cameras on cats and followed what they did over most of a summer. She found the cats killed a lot of species in their neighborhood. Only 20% of the time would they bring their catch back home, leading many owners to believe their cats weren't causing trouble.

I don’t doubt cats kill a lot of birds but how do they come up with this number?

I read bird watching is a racist activity bc people of color aren’t allowed to walk outside and look at birds

Monitor a few cats. Take the observed number of kills and multiply it by the total number of cats in the U.S.

I support this.

How do they even know how many cats are out there and how many of those cats even go outside?

Poland should’ve sent in the attack cats to battle Hitler’s panzers in 1939. Hindsight is 20/20.

Cats are smart little bastards. You get one and you won’t have any pest issues around your house.

Read recently Australia has gone to war against feral cats.

Are you asking me to explain statistics?

By any rational definition, they are an invasive species.
What can or should be done about it, if anything, is the question.

I would think birds are important for insect control.
Cats? What are they important for?
We did have a stray that sort of showed up after Katrina. She hung around for over a decade before we had to put her down. She did a damn fine job of keeping the moles, mice, snakes, etc at bay.
But she didn't discriminate either. Cats kill for the fun of it.
They'd kill you too, if hey were just a bit bigger.

Birds aren't real. This is just another fabricated lie by the MSM to come after our pets and break the family unit.

Just statistical estimates.
