@Jess_inthewild I have some bad news. Have you heard of the National Feline Research Council? They're a group created in 2020 and run by Best Friends employee Peter Wolf. The advisory board is entirely TNR advocates. Here's a relevant paper addressing Pe

@nvk Negligible compared to cats, dead birds are food and it's nothing Darwin can't fix. https://t.co/yfn6j1AXMg
if you let your domesticated pet cats roam outside unsupervised, i'm just gonna assume you hate your cat and are also a dunce https://t.co/3xwxl7hWZo
@PeterMcCormack By the way, if you want to piss off a another fanatic community, just get involved in the free-ranging cat maximalist vs. environmentalist debate. https://t.co/sAC5Z5I1ey
@Ryan_Riddle @krista_natasha Or like so https://t.co/70FFLxmec9
@Brettferalchild @ACiernicki @Channel4News @alextomo There is no evidence cats take weak and sickly birds. And that copy paste paragraph from the RSPB's website later states reducing the predation can only help. https://t.co/QvULBryjg3 https://t.co/W33FlT5
@Preservation945 @CaorthannAonair @alleycatallies @VoxFelina ACA and VoxFelina spread so much misinformation there's an academic paper addressing them... https://t.co/QvULBryjg3
@highscicomm Thanks for this @highscicomm! Also note that claims of extrapolation are flawed. We (@PeterPMarra Tom Will @travislongcore & I) responded to this common criticism of our predation estimates, plus other flawed critiques, in this #OA article
And finally, free-ranging house #cats and ferals contribute to millions of bird deaths around the world. https://t.co/nb6E6lqlWB
@Lesley_Faith @Carolyn80023971 @DrAmirKhanGP SIGH HERE WE GO AGAIN. THAT STATEMENT IS ONLY SUPPORTED BY ONE FLAWED PAPER PUBLISHED 21 YEARS AGO 🥱 https://t.co/ttRlUQK1ky
@JacksonSmithA @yorkshabastard @FelicityCobbing @dr_pewpew @Charlietrypsin There's also no scientific evidence that supports the RSPB's statement that the birds likely would have died anyway but OK. Source: https://t.co/QvULBryjg3

@AndyHumbles “Caretaker” is incredibly biased language. Feeding cats outdoors is not a “caring” act as outdoor cats live “shortened and perilous lives,” riddled with pathogens & parasites. See: https://t.co/82vrjYVYFg https://t.co/5L8aWYntRK
