Oh , and "our" (<not mine) arguement is that the "feral cats" hunt , kill , and eat , game birds to survive , so we need to kill them so we have more game birds to kill??? Can you see the moronic irony in that?
I understand your way of thinking but the problem I see with it is this.
It is estimated by some that feral cats take far more game birds (at least here in Illinois than hunters do) I will try to find the source but it's been a while since I read it. The artical went on to say that the number of feral cats (again I will use Illinois only) is on an alarming rise, infact faster than all other game bird preditors including coyotes. Their hunting skills are also far superior to coyotes as well. They get to the nests and destroy them.
The problem is people don't give them the credit they should. Most see them as cute little furry harmless animals that you can take home and make pets. The fact is they are vicious and relentless preditors and if not put in check will cause great harm to the game bird populations.
So for you to think hunters shouldn't get involved in this fight I need only ask: What if cats killed deer the way they do game birds?
I bet you would have a different opinion then.
