While cats, in general, are a threat to birds, these particular cats were not a threat to these particular birds.

- romwell 3y agoI repeat my request to actually read the words that I wrote, along with the references, and respond to that instead of the emotions you're feeling. Please read these points carefully: 1. While cats, in general, are a threat to birds, the cats managed by the TNR program on Google Campus were not a threat to burrowing owls in the Shoreline park; 2. Shutdown of the TNR program resulted in the increase of the feral cat population, and had no positive impact on the owls; 3. The primary threat to the burrowing owls is human interference and destruction of habitat. These birds are not particularly threatened by stray cats in the first place. 4. Saying that the general statement applies to a particular case without looking at the facts is a fallacy. TL;DR: "cats are a threat to birds" doesn't imply that my house cat in the US is a threat to kiwis in New Zealand.
- rcpt 3y agoThis is a discussion about NYC. I don't know why you're focused on Mountain View. Do you think that you can somehow generalize from that to NYC?
