Just saw this.
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-bu ... 11020.html"... researchers at the Migratory Bird Center of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Washington D.C. estimate that felines are responsible for up to 3.7 billion bird deaths per year in the U.S. alone.
That number still pales in comparison to the 20.7 billion small mammals – like rats, voles and chipmunks – who annually exit this mortal coil at the paw of some predatory kitty cat.

Those numbers are staggering.
The limited flashing, baiting, feeding, tagging, that goes on appears pretty inconsequential in comparison.
The only difference between us and them is that we have a conscience and we act based on how much of it we have.
