I know in Arkansas, wild house cats and wild kids both account for the deaths of tens of thousands of song birds, quail and rabbit.

Its nice to see that someone is truly concerned about "song birds." What is a "song bird" anyway? Are all birds "song birds" or just the ones that are consumed by feline "killing machines?" You've just
got to love the emotionally charged and unverifiable rhetoric snatched up by those with the idea of "saving" nature from itself.
I was hunting not far from my home 2 days ago. I had occasion to watch a healthy domestic cat hunting (no collar on it, so you just know it was feral). In almost an hour and half of close and clandestine observation, the "killing machine" in question captured and killed nothing, despite its best efforts as it stalked about and low-crawled across the tree lines and field edges trying to catch even so much as a common field mouse.
After reading these threads the last few months, I naturally expected the field to be rendered bright crimson replete with blood, fur, and feather in a matter of minutes, but alas...
Maybe those Arkansas cats are special though, eh? A southern thang?
