| 61. But they are like the 1235 biggest threat in the area |
|
roads, powerlines, sewage, development, suburban communities, runoff of oil and gas from the roads, those plastic six pack thingers, airplanes, cars that run over wildlife daily, trains, airplanes
all of those are more dangerous than housecats.
If it is nature they really care about, then they can do a lot better than shoot people's pets that excaped from the house.
