Dear COG Forum members

At the risk of starting a cat-fight (which is not my intention - but I cannot resist the pun) members of the COG forum might be interested in this report which was posted as a comment on a fellow Aussie Nature Blogger's report of a Willy Wagtail being killed by a cat. http://sandystraitsandbeyond.blogspot.com/2009/09/willie-wagtail.html

The comment and link is:

"The American Bird Conservancy estimates that 150 million free-ranging cats kill 500 million birds a year in the United States. To read the entire article on cats killing birds go to the Audubon Magazine Article."

Submitted for your information - and not (just) to upset cat lovers.

Cheers
