The lesson from this study, and many others involving feral cats and other
pest animals, is that you can't rely on one control method to reduce or
eliminate a population.  However, I find it hard to believe that the
presence or absence of dominant animals can change the carrying capacity of
an area.

Hopefully, when the cat problem is tackled seriously, it will be on an all
encompassing evidence-based strategy.

Cheers

David
