New Zealand has announced plans to eradicate feral cats by 2050, as part of efforts to protect the country’s biodiversity.
Speaking to Radio New Zealand on Thursday, conservation minister Tama Potaka said that feral cats are “stone cold killers” and would be added to the country’s Predator Free 2050 list, which aims to eradicate those animals that have a negative impact on species such as birds, bats, lizards and insects.
Cats had previously been excluded from the list, which includes species such as stoats, ferrets, weasels, rats and possums, but Potaka used the interview to announce a U-turn.
I wouldn’t bother. If they’re this simple and loud about whatever they think they comprehend of evolution and natural selection concepts, you know them and their cat are ironically nature’s food in the first 48 hours detached from society’s teet. Lucky for them, we keep getting better at keeping the weakest around. Mike Judge does a good film about it.
I’m sorry that your love of cute, cuddly animals has allowed you to suspend your belief in basic science. I’d hoped you were made of sterner stuff. Perhaps on your next interaction, you could dispense with the backhanded insults and argue the actual point?
Show us how the strongest and fittest do it with that esteemed advantage of “basic science”.
Fuck the ecoologists. We await you and your cat’s venture into the realm of 5d natural selection chess. May all living things not deemed cute and cuddly disappear so the strongest and fittest live on, unhindered forever more.
And you have had two scientific studies presented to you at this point, so, we’re sorry we failed in presenting arguments. Backhanded comments is all we have left now. It’s what plants need.
