Oh dear, the language of a sewer cat
Where did I say they "feral cats" are a different species to the domesticated one.
like mink they are not indiginous to our country they wreak havoc on wildlife and should not be predating on it!....unlike mink they are a DOMESTICATED animal who as such dont belong ANYWHERE in ANY habitat ...be they feral or pet!
Matters not one bit whether they are indigenous to our country, they are here, and as such we deal with what we have got.
and i think you'll find i have never said a wild native species should never be controlled if its damaging its habitat, but it should be done with the whole ecology of that area in mind based scientific data....not randomly shot by some hunter or other....that is NOT conservation!

Me personally i regard any pest specie as vermin which is causing concern.
I dont have a gundog breed because the majority of my shooting is woodpigeon where im sitting in a hide and i dont need to retrieve the birds very often.Rabbits i pick up myself and put in a bag.I do rough shoot as well,but thats always with a friend with his Springer who does the flushing.
