If the situation was flipped around I doubt you would give a shit. Exactly plus its not just a freakin kitten its also a freakin blight on an already fragile ecosystem. Honestly I don't see how its anything but an awesome picture. Unique Visual not displeasing (well excluding the throttled kitty but that's life, the kitten doesn't deserve any more pitty points than the young montiors its mother probably kills or the buffalo calves killed by lions or the fawns that get torn apart by wolves or or the young gazelle that get killed leopards etc etc in fact it deserves less because its an invasive species) Features content that is good for an enviroment I don't see all that many negatives to argue that it isn't a great photo.

That just makes him conisitant, not giving a shit no matter what the lizard is eating As for the puppy thing, that would be just as good, dogs are also invasive to australia.

Yeah, well you still like lions a lot don't you? Quote: Who cares if they are invasive They are causing other animals to go extinct... Quote: ....its not there fault.... Except for the fact that they often kill animals for their own fun. But suppose that we should stop keeping the rap population in check since its not their fault they breed in the billions across the globe. Quote: they are still the same animals that we keep as pets.. So theoretically if feral cats where causing native felines and canines to go extinct you would be totally okay with that?

Unfortunately no. Feral cats threaten many of Australi's reptile species - including species of Monitor Lizards. Taipan Jul 2 2012, 01:32 PM "Research with Rosenberg’s Goanna (Green, Rismiller, McKelvey) has shown that feral cats are persistent predators. They frequently catch subadult goannas, opportunistically kill adults and in two cases have been documented to deliberately stalk and kill adult goannas. “…At 1600 hrs on 27 March 1996 we were radio tracking a female goanna which had been known in the study population for seventeen years. The signal came from an area that she seldom used. She was tracked to the entrance of a cat den in a mallee root burrow. The freshly killed carcass was found with six other dead goannas. All animals had been dead less than six hours. All had been killed with a single bite in the back of the head. Five were known individuals with implanted identification microchips. Using daily tracking records and home range maps for each individual goanna it was calculated that the greatest distance of probable catch from the cat den as approximately two kilometres. Circumstances suggest that the female cat had prior knowledge of each goannas activity pattern (at this time of year, many goannas have a daily foraging circuit) and had deliberately stalked, killed and brought the prey back to her kittens. The female cat was trapped and over the next five days six kittens were trapped or shot at the den (unpublished data, PLRC 1996).” http://www.echidna.edu.au/projects/feral/feral_peggy.pdf An adult Rosenberg's Goanna reaches up to 1.5 metres in length. http://www.pittwater.nsw.gov.au/environment/plants__and__animals/threatened_species/animals/rosenbergs_goanna 1 he is actually entirely correct, adult large Goanna seem to take kittens with a fair amount of regularity which does indeed mean they are atleast minorly aiding in the supression of their population and thus aiding in their control. Read this from the link you posted: "Mr Birkett said when feral cats grew to adult size the tables were turned. ‘‘They are a significant predator of lizards, including young goannas,’’ he said. In this case, the goanna won, which Mr Gorman said was not only incredible to witness, but also pleasing. ‘‘I have a big problem with seeing feral cats around because they do damage to the native wildlife, it was good to see the natives having a win,’’ he said. Mr Birkett said despite their armoury of weapons, including a tail-flick, sharp claws and even sharper teeth, goannas would never win the numbers game. ‘‘The goanna won’t need a feed for quite some time after that,’’ he said, meaning the rest of the litter would be free to grow, breed and add to the number of feral pests in the bush." http://www.mmg.com.au/local-news/shepparton/life-and-death-struggle-1.39884 Monitors can't keep up.

Obviously the lizards aren't capable of completely removing the cat problem, but they're doing something. Edited by Tyrant, Jul 9 2014, 06:41 PM.
