The inconvenient truth is that cats kill more American birds, particularly songbirds, than DDT and pesticides ever did.
Wisconsin is considering allowing residents to shoot feral cats in part because a respected study found that felines kill between 7.8 million and 217 million birds in Wisconsin alone. Data from a Michigan study suggest that some 75 million birds are killed there just in the summer alone.
A non-random survey of four Feline-Americans finds 100% opposition to this. Must be a plot by Bill Frist supporters.
Of course, according to the stories my northwoods Wisconsin relatives used to tell, kitty killing is long since commonplace.
