OMG Denise, haven't you seen all the cat posts on Facebook? Have you surfed the
internet to see all the cat lovers and their support services? If the
Australian conservation community goes head-to-head with the world of cat
lovers, I have no doubt at all who will win - and in a flogging! And will that
flogging advance the conservation cause or set it back disastrously? IMHO
conservationists will have to be very smart about the way they deal with the
cat issue. The sort of ideas I am reading on birding-aus at the moment would be
a bad move. Game over, in fact. It will take restraint, empathy and
intelligence to have any chance of solving this one! The big stick won't work.
cheers
Andrew
