Domestic Cats Considered Global Menace to the Planet
The free-ranging domestic cat (Felis catus) is a murderous menace to the future of planet's ecosystem. A recently released paper in Nature Communications shows the utter devastation wrought by domestic and feral cats everywhere. Cats were recorded devouring more than two thousand different species, including birds, insects, mammals, amphibians, and even reptiles. The cat's unending diet has lead to the extinction of 60 species worldwide. Almost 350 species on the cat's menu are listed as considered to be of conservation of concern. A cat needs a high protein diet, has an evolved set of hunting skills perfect for the extinction of many species, and no sense of empathy or concern for others—it is the perfect killing machine that could end life on this planet. To combat the dangers we face from these planet-killing murder machines, the US-based National Organization against the Cat Affiliated Threat (NOCAT) has released a manifesto calling for the elimination of cats across the planet. NOCAT is offering a trade-in program. For every cat handed in, NOCAT will provide a rescue puppy—turning passionate cat lovers into reluctant dog lovers...maybe.
