Letter to the Editor: Humans to blame, not cats

DEAR News Of The Area,

I FIND cats to be fascinating animals, and wonderful companions, with engaging and often eccentric personalities.

However, unlike humans, they do have some downsides.

I do think though, that the wrath-filled tirades of anger directed at cats for the apparently existential amount of wildlife they kill, should be more properly levelled at the true culprits skulking in the background: the contemptible people who irresponsibly care for these beautiful creatures – don’t get them desexed, and dump them in the bush.

Once there, through no fault of its own, a cat does exactly what every other creature on this planet, including us, does: attempts to stay alive as best it can.

Take a cold shower everyone.

Regards,
Peter DINGLE,
Urunga.
