As a pet owner I'd be very concerned about any animals being outside in general.
No shot this doesn't backfire and kill some native species.

>No shot this doesn't backfire and kill some native species
Because feral cats aren't killing those native species already? lmao It's possible short term pain to eradicate an issue that left unchecked will continue forever.

I haven't lived in NZ for a while but I remember them killing a whole bunch of dogs years and years ago with indiscriminate rat poison pellet drops in the south island, hopefully they don't do something retarded again.

>we need to torture pets to death with poison because thats a white change to the ecosystem. only maori can change the ecosystem!
Nativist conservation is part of anti-white genocidal rhetoric.
>whites have no culture, are not a valid race, invented everything bad, and everything they do is bad. the only good thing is to get rid of them and things associated with them.
replace whites with jews and you have mein kampf
replace whites with blacks and you have jim crow
maori already killed animals they dislike and favored animals they do like, and catching a boat ride first does not make them more important. the only right thing to do is stop the cycle of senseless killing and let the cats be. some birds will be replaced by other species. its nature. let the ecosystem evolve. the pre-white state is not holy and certainly not holier than the pre-human state. cats and dogs are an interesting change and they hunt other introduced species like deer and mice. neither of those are going away.
they only want to kill the cats because they are a proxy for white culture. they dont care about valid reasons like toxoplasmosis deaths or outdoor cats horrible welfare
also see: wild dogs brown people brought to australia good. wild dogs white people brought are "impure" and must be killed. they are the same fucking animal. aussies only kill dogs that came from white settlers because they hate white people. it is that simple.
the foundation of modern nativist conservation is hating white people. brown people can burn continents to the ground to have an easier time hunting and it is suddenly okay.
>>
>>5077153
You don’t understand chud. Those dogs had to suffer horrible deaths so we could continue taking pictures of a silly bird. Besides, dogs are white "person" animals. They don’t matter unless they’re owned by heccin valid brown people because they caught a boat ride slightly earlier. Now say sorry for slavery and the holocaust.

It's possible if they can develop genetically modified cats to release into the wild with a gene drive that makes them only produce male offspring, then all feral cats on the island will die off within a few generations.
Of course, there would need to be strict controls to make sure no cats are removed from the islands during the process so as to not create the possibility of the genetically modified cats from getting out of control.
>>
They did it to Philip Island in Australia, and it worked well.
Keep your pet indoors and teach it to walk on a leash, and have an enclosed space outside. It's not hard; cat owners can seriously be both dumb and abusive towards their animals and their care/husbandry.
t. parrot owner who provides enclosure, an aviary, and enrichment to his animals, and adopts and doesn't shop.

Yeah we had them here. Feral dogs are considered a danger in general so people don't mind when they're culled.
>>5077123
Good.
Honestly, it's nice to see people waking up to the threat feral cats pose to biodiversity.
In a lot of areas there just isn't anything to control their numbers, because anything that can kill a cat (like say, a feral dog or coyote) would be dangerous to children.
I live near an area that's meant to be a protected zone for some ground-nesting bird species but the place has turned into a fucking buffet for the feral cat colonies.
TNR does nothing, it's never done anything. Feral cats multiply in huge amounts you physically cannot spay and return that many. The only solution is mass cullings- the same way we deal with any other invasive pest like rats and boars.

The issue with cat culls though it is tends to produce rat/mice booms which again harass and attack ground-nesting birds.
Poisoning the rats could lead to poisoning the very bird population you're trying to protect.
In the end the issue of cat culls is kinda complicated and above my pay-grade but I generally see it as a good thing. Birds are a lot more capable of fighting off a rat than they are against a cat ambush.

As a coastal white boy, It's pretty fucking cool to me how untouched the Americas were before European contact. They didn't even have earthworms, and Tenochtitlan was made in the middle of a swamp because even waterborne illnesses were less of a thing.

BASED
This is exactly what I've been saying. New Zealand and Australia are anomalies, they are young and incomplete ecosystems. They would have been colonized by placental mammals eventually given enough time. You even have other cosmopolitan families like Ranidae getting across the Wallace Line and starting to colonize the continent.
More megafauna is good. We need more megafauna (especially predators) to alter ecosystems and make them more complex.
Small cats are already present around the entire world. The only reason feral cats are bad is because they can reach artificially high densities with humans feeding them in suburbs. In the wild feral cats would be kept in check by birds of prey and larger predators.
>>5077607
>They didn't even have earthworms
Earthworms were in the southern USA because the glaciers wiped everything clean. The upper half of North America is only 10,000 years old. Are you telling me earthworms wouldn't have started migrating northwards and recolonize it? Clearly they can survive there if european and asian earthworms are doing fine. Are these exotic earthworms "invasive" or did we just speed up the inevitable?
Conservationists are retarded because it's completely arbitrary. They want to take a snapshot of the ecosystem and keep it exactly like that even though the world is always changing. Either we go along with it or fight a retarded futile battle.

As long as dogs have as much of a right to eat cats as cats have a right to eat rats. It’s natural behavior and i loathe people who think their roaming cat is so high up that dogs should be punished for performing natural pest control behaviors.

Toxofag accidentally made a valid point in between all the bacteria-induced ramblings, although I suspect it was accidental. Desex and release is a far more effective (or at least more efficient) means of population control than actually killing cats, at least in environments where it is practical or where other methods are contraindicated. Killing a cat means you have one dead cat. Desexing and releasing a cat means that cat is still around, hogging resources that other cats could be using (food, territory, mates) even if they defend those resources less effectively than an intact cat. There is an upfront cost to this approach, but population numbers don't rebound in nearly the same time they do after a simple cull, and you don't run the risk of poisoning native carnivores as you would with bait, no matter how targeted the delivery method.

TNR has literally never worked. It’s just protracted euthanasia via nature. Eradication and cutting off the source does work. It’s what we did to get rid of feral dog packs in the first world.
Require cat owners to spay and neuter
Heavily fine anyone with an intact cat
Have cat-catchers aggressively snatching up any cat found loose, give owners one week to claim them before the cat dies
Before long the toxodrones will learn responsibility.

It resembles the epic battle of the 20th century Chinese with sparrows.
And what will New Zealand do with the hordes of feral mice that will appear as a consequence of their actions in year 2051?
>>
>>5081536
And heckin trad very wise rural folx from a long time ago also used to think that the earth was flat, the body required a healthy balance of puss to function, and that black cats were magically bad luck when they are actually just better at hiding the signs of fleas AKA transmitting black plague (which cats are excellent at doing)
Cats are not and have never been pest control. Keep them inside.

>>5081556
Cats do not control rodent populations. In fact, in california studies, the presence of feral cats made pest mice more common because they are much better at hunting native mammals than they are at hunting pest mice, which opened up new niches for the mice.
https://cales.arizona.edu/pubs/adjunct/snr0704/snr07042l.pdf
If cats have anything to eat that is not a mouse or a rat, they will prefer the easier prey. Birds, native mammals, reptiles, garbage, etc.

>>

>>5081618
Cats are not effective predators of house mice and pest rats. They prefer dumber or less cautious animals and mice and rats have evolved specifically to avoid being wiped out by cats. Cats have nothing to contribute to NZ.
Mind you cats only naturally exist in places where their population is kept in check by canines, their primary natural predator. There is no mouse/cat predator that would not also wipe out kakapos and kiwis.

first world countries don't really have feral dogs, that's a second and third world problem
Sometimes people's dogs get out or run away obviously, but those are strays, not ferals. Strays get rounded up and either returned to their owner, adopted out or put down before they can establish a stable population
>>
>>5077123
And, if it this is true, youd better give source, not that we'd be able to go online and complain about it because they'll censor discussions of culled cats and photo evidence because they want to stop you feeling saaad :(

Actually fucking eating the previous inhabitants is honestly pretty based. The Maori up until recently were actually relatively reasonable about "ok you kicked the ever loving shit out of us fair and square, you win, thanks for not just fucking wiping us off the map"
>>
>>5082363
>Is it really just familiarity bias?
Pretty much, most people only really support invasive species culls when they're traditionally reviled creatures like snakes or small vermin. Make it about culling feral dogs or cats and suddenly you get the most asinine takes imaginable as people bend over backwards to justify their feelings. Prime example being the idiots in this thread.

>>5077123
what causing cats to gain this amount of schizo hate in environmentalism? you dont hear this about dogs, small feral mammals like rabbits and ferrets and livestock? also not to mention the damage that people do including adding more and more immigrants who do not give a fuck? not to mention how now new zealand also now has a ferret and a marsupial issue.

Feral dogs and hogs are also both equally more intelligent, social, and easy to empathize with than cats so it is absolutely bizarre that all the outcry and "NO, TNR! SAVE THEM! LET THEM STAY FREE!" bullshit crops up with the dumber, more parasitic animal that offers literally nothing, damages the environment, and actually increases pest populations when allowed to roam by preferentially killing easier to catch non-pests
Or is it? Peel back the veil
The "feral" cats are actually peoples pets. Cat people are fucking stupid and let their pets roam with no ID, no collar, no chips, no vet records, nothing. They do not take care of their pets at all.

unfortunately brown savages never think this way, maybe the first generation, after which the brownoids forget how the white man dominated it, and they remain savages
on the other hand, pale savages (many asians, other whites), show respect to the ones who dominated them in the past, and, in many cases even made their culture into what it is today

Dingos don't count, they're wild, not feral
Apparently there are some persistent packs of hybrids though which I didn't know about. I can't easily find good info about whether they're stray dog packs with some dingo mix or basically just dingos that fucked a stray dog a couple generations ago though. They don't have "street dogs" either way.

NZ has so many cool bird species that can't exist in an environment with small predators like cats, and its not like this isn't the first time they've done this (they've been working to eradicate rats for a few years now)

No, you retards, they killed the Moriori after being prompted to by the British and being given the arms to do so.
They British also struggled to control the Island, and nearly abandoned colonisation attempts until they started converting them to Christianity and changing the cultural practices.
>>5084029
>Just lie down and accept domination
No western European culture did this under the romans, especially the Britons. The British Isles declined in Population post Rome contact due to reverting to a 'savage state' and not being able to continue living as their roman rulers did.
>in many cases even made their culture into what it is today
That is every post colonial culture.

Australia was populated by mammals. The mega fauna died due to humans and climate change.
You can't just replace animals with ones from other continents, that is the opposite of genetic diversity.
New Zealand was incomplete, it had megafauna, predators and herbivores in abundance.

Yes you can. Tell me why a giant extinct kangaroo is any different from a horse when they both eat the same stuff and fulfil the same ecological role as a grazer. The only difference is how they look.
>>In the wild feral cats would be kept in check by birds of prey and larger predators.

So introduce those too
>>
>>
>>5090935
Did those horses actually make any other species go extinct? Or did they just change the plant community and autists freaked out that now it's different from what it's "supposed to be"?
Once again you want to take a snapshot of the ecosystem and refuse to allow it to change, which is fundamentally flawed because the climate is changing and organisms are moving around.
If you were around a few million years ago you'd be standing in Panama trying to keep animals from migrating between the Americas.
>>
>>5077123
That's fine.
I like cats a lot but they are one of the most destructive mother fuckers on the planet from an ecological point of view. The only thing that has caused more extinctions is humans. The reason cats are so destructive is they breed fast and are one of the few animals that just kills shit for the sheer fun of murdering stuff.
Like I said though, love my little psychopaths.

New Zealand is actually pretty well suited to doing this without harming native animals.
Their only native mammals are bats, seals and cetaceans so baiting and hunting can both be pretty easily targeted at only killing invasive species. Nobody is going to care if they kill some invasive ferrets or possums while they try to exterminate cats.

First of all giant kangaroos weren’t grazers, they were browsers. They don’t fill the same niche at all. Second of all they didn’t have hooves that cause erosion like horses. Third of all there were predators around at the time that could hunt large herbivores, nowadays there are no large terrestrial predators in Australia
