Australian Environment Minister Greg Hunt "is declaring war on feral cats,*

Considering governments' success rate of waging wars on various things, I expect the Australian cat population to increase dramatically.

And the Aussie taxpayers have to pay for it!

I hate cats.

Sounds kind of gay to be honest.

Why in the hell would you get rid of the cats?

It seems they would focus on the rat and spider infestations.

Let me help ur reading comprehension, girlie...

The Australian government announced plans to cull up to 2 million feral cats by 2020 in a bid to preserve dozens of native species that authorities claim face extinction because of the cats' predatory behavior.

Compost? No. Rendering - The final destination for all animal remains. Send that gutter oil to China! May the schmaltz be with you.

Everybody tries to swindle everybody else. There is nothing we can do about it.

LOL

The headline makes it sound like they are making sausages out of them.

But the story doesn't say how well the war is going, this is all it had to say about that:

Approximately 211,000 cats were culled in Australia in 2016; the current cull will take place through 2020, with the goal of eradicating 2 million cats through poison bait, shooting and trapping, the Herald reported.

I wouldn't be surprised if the cats ended up winning.
