Amazing how much lenience people give to fur. Watched a documentary on the true damage that cats do to ecosystems and wildlife, whether they be feral or simply allowed to have the night out so to speak.
They showed one cat that would kill koi-drag them right out of pond bigger than the cat was, along with full grown rabbits wild and domestic, including the large breeds of rabbits, millions of birds-hunted at night while roosting, and of course anything that moved form the very small to a good chuck larger than the cat, lets say 200% bobymass of cat to be conservative.

I know this doesn't help with retarded actions of former reptile keepers, and the problem of introduced reptiles to the wild is truly a major problem. Just wish cat keepers got slammed for irreponsible cat keeping actins too, even thoug it may be a small fraction of the cat keepers.

my 2 cents
