Oh yeah cats do a great job of getting rid of rats. I always wonder what those cats that keep crapping in my front yard are doing and those feral cats that live down the street by the bike trail too. I threw 3 rats in the green waste toter this Monday and I heard rats outside last night. But the feral cats down the street prefer birds or the food that the do gooders are delivering to them.
Shut up about how cats control rats it is not true.
Didn’t they use to have a problem with imported rabbits taking over?
Go on YouTube and look up rat terrier videos and you will see what a great job the cats are doing.
Foxes, dingos, coyotes, dogs, fisher cats, raccoons, large birds of prey..I’m sure there are others as well.
Do these sausages come in Halal?
Definitely MORONS. Other species will eat the sausage too...
Plus, poison is a. dreadfully painful death. Won’t beloved house cats get into the poison too?
Mice will take over the country
This will not end well.
The Law of Unintended Consequences tells us there will be unintended consequences.
If this is done in 5 years there's going to be a report about the loss of native animals which will be traced back to this program.
Heads will roll.
Rats fight back, and it’s a tossup on who’s having what for dinner.
Thanks Berosus.
Native Australian carnivorous animals are mostly the dasyurids, or carnivorous marsupials. These include: Tasmanian devilquollphascogaleantechinusdibblerkowariplanigale. The extinct Thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, was a carnivorous marsupial. The dingo is considered to be a native carnivore, although it was originally introduced to the continent by the Aborigines many thousands of years ago.
Non-native carnivores include dogs, cats and foxes.
Introduced non-carnivores include bunnies, I believe, they were a bit of a disaster, if memory serves. And the predators introduced to clean up the bunny problem just caused more problems.
I think Elvis' first hit in Australia was "hound Dog". :^)
