A new study posted in Nature Communications shows that cats kill upwards of 3 BILLION birds per year. And according to Deborah Holle from the US Fish and Wildlife Service, "most people are unaware that their well-fed domestic house cat can take up on average one bird everyday." This is insane!!! With North America being the breeding grounds more thousands of species of birds, (there are approximately 10,000 different species in the world) these cats are a serious issue.
How are we going to know it's spring if we don't hear the birds!! So do the right thing here people, and keep those cats INSIDE!
