I once knew a guy who kept and raised cats. I find it astonishing that people argue of whether feral cats are bad for birds in North America. This almost certainly can be argued to be true just on the basis of logic, because feral Cats are proficient hunters and are entirely out of ecological place. Unless we put them there.

A pet cat raising orphaned ducklings! That is, until the ducklings grow up, are released into a pond, and greet the local feral cat colony as long-lost relatives.

There are any number of concerns one could raise. Can we find a suitable island free from feral predators that would devastate the introduced species?

But one man was listening to the calls of the whistle blowers -- calls of widespread wetland destruction, poaching, pesticides and destructive feral wildlife. In December, 1990, a single pair of ducks and some young birds began to feed at the farm of Mr. Willie Ebanks, at Hutland, Northside, in Grand Cayman.

We have to understand, though, that this was a natural predator and not one of our introduced feral cats or foxes. Last year they were successful at raising one chick, so we just have to hope they are this year too. The moist Pied Oystercatcher nest site after the thieving.
