Since we both agree that human overpopulation poses the greatest threat to this planet, why can't we agree that the overpopulation of ANY species -- especially non-native species -- is a threat to the balance of the ecosystem? This is not an either/or argument here. Just because I believe that something must be done about the out-of-control feral cat population doesn't mean I don't fully support zero population growth (for humans) or that I live in a burb, blabbing on a cellphone while driving a Hummer. Quite the opposite is true. But when I see our already stressed ecosystem thrown out of balance by an overpopulation of any species, be that human or feline or whatever -- then it makes sense that something must be done. This DOESN'T mean that idiots should drive around shooting feral cats, but we need to get serious about the problem just as we should get serious about addressing human overpopulation.
