1 Rat Terrier, just ONE Rat Terrier killed 2501 rats in less than a day.

Meanwhile, barn cats are lucky to kill 2 rats a day.

Because they suck at ratting.

Cats prefer smaller prey and only cull 6 mice daily.

Which means they sùck at hunting mice too.

Yet, cats kill billions of small wildlife such as birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles purely for sport. Since small fauna are easier to catch than mice/rats.

Especially baby native animals.

Normalize using dogs for responsible pest control.

They are efficient without destroying local ecosystems.

I am strongly against barn cats. This link is pro barn cats, but Im only sharing it to confirm how many mice a single cats kills. Which is a WHOPPING six mice.

Eastern Cottontail - [Sylvilagus floridanus]

featuring the Blow Fly - [Calliphoridae]

I want to take a moment to talk about invasive species.

Specifically one of the most prevalent in the country: the Common Housecat [Felis catus].

My neighbor's cat is an outdoor cat. I love that cat to death, but it's times like this I wish she wasn't around.

She killed this rabbit. this small, innocent creature that didn't have a cat as a natural predator.

I know that death is a part of life; I know that all too well. Fate may have already decided this one's fate. But I don't think the Common Housecat is native to North Carolina.

This is her. She was choked and thrown to the road as a kitten and was rescued by my neighbor. I love her to death.

I wish she was an indoor cat. The amount of rabbits, lizards, birds, etc. that I have to witness almost every single day, and her owner doesn't seem to care.

All outdoor cat owners are the most selfish people I've ever met.

Thank you to this rabbit for being alive. I'll never forget you
