MRS Guthrie-Lacy complains that cats are a nuisance because they kill birds and dig gardens up.

Cats have been hunting birds and rodents since before Christ so why are birds all of a sudden becoming endangered?

I agree cats do hunt, but it's in their nature and no amount of domesticating will ever stop this.

I love all animals and birds and try to prevent cats from being able to kill by putting bells on their collars.

If I catch one about to kill a bird or anything else I immediately jump to the rescue.

If the lady doesn't like cats, that's fine.

I dislike some living things, but in general it's the two-legged variety more than four-legged.

If the world was left to the four-legged, would we need nuclear weapons, armies, police, prisons, alarms, insurance etc?
