Australia To Kill 2 Million Cats

Australia Plans To Kill 2 Million Cats
The Australian government plans to kill 2 million feral cats by the year 2020. The purpose is to protect some of Australia’s threatened native species. The announcement did not sit well with animal rights activists, including Brigitte Bardot. The former French model condemned the Australian government and called their plan “animal genocide”. Bardot argued that killing cats is cruel and violent. She also argued that the program would be useless since cats will continue to breed. Bardot and many other activists feel that the Australian government should spend their money on sterilization rather than eradication.
