Cats, Conservation, and Controversy

This chapter explores the heated debate over the ecological impact of free-ranging cats in Wisconsin, spotlighted by the documentary 'Here Kitty Kitty.' It examines the divide between wildlife conservationists concerned about bird population declines and cat advocates opposing lethal measures for unowned cats. Through the lens of a controversial study on feral cats, the chapter highlights the complex interplay of animal welfare, scientific scrutiny, and the broader challenges of wildlife management.
