It escapes me why free-roaming “neighborhood cats” are an accepted norm when we know that outside cats are bird killers. It does not matter how well we feed them. It does not matter how softly they purr on our laps, or keep us good company. When they are outside and off of a leash, they often kill birds. Between one to 4 billion birds per year. Want to do something good for the planet? Keep your cats indoors, or walk them only on a leash. ~ Craig Kesselheim, Southwest Harbor
