New Zealand says no more outdoor cats.

HEXBEAR. DO NOT EVEN 
Hexbears are in control
Trust the plan
rare new zealand W
Not rare in this area. New Zealand is one of the only countries that takes native species conservation and invasive species control seriously.
Only gonna take them a quarter century tho lol
Is it possible to eliminate the population over time via spay/neuter methods or is that not viable in NZ's case?
Too much cost/not enough scale. And it would be hard to get all of them. Also, as mentioned in the article, if they are left alive they kill native wildlife, so they really shouldn't be left alive.
what if they trap them all and uhhhh put them on some island somewhere and that's the cats' island now
They can have Epstein's old joint.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I think the ecological damage resulting from doing that would outweigh any moral benefits of not just killing them.

Dumping all the feral cats in New Zealand into Curtis Sliwa's apartment while he's not home
CW: harm to animals
Sadly no, there's really no humane solution that can outpace their population growth. Unfortunately culling is the lesser of two evils, cats are apex predators in these environments and they're a significant contributor to the extinction of native fauna. It should have been a priority a long time ago.
It's horrible. It isn't even practical to shoot them so they get baited and (IMO) we don't even have a good solution for baiting them since the agent most commonly used also kills other (native) mammals and dissolves into waterways very easily. Plus it's a really unpleasant death.
I'm surprised there isn't a viral option like there has been for feral rabbits, but I guess that was a pretty miserable death too.
other (native) mammals
Which are 3 species of bats, 1 of which has not had a confirmed sighting since 1960's!
Learned this like 2 days ago, odd that it became relevant on HB. And they said pub trivia nights are a waste of time and money
wish Hawai'i would do this
NEW ZEALAND IS COMMUNIST?? 
incoming
i thought we reached consensus on this one
really we should be relitigating every struggle session every 2 years just in case original participants leave/new users arrive in such numbers to shift any consensus that was reached in the past
So basically like whenever someone here brings up astrology.
their accounts may be banned but their struggle lives on!
how do they feel about stacking rocks?
New Zealand is committing cat genocide. Why? I believe the answer is clear when you consider people's reactions towards cats. Cats are widely considered to be some of the cutest animals, which should not be harmed in any way. If they were to be harmed, much less genocided, the entire world would be up in arms against this. This would be the perfect cover-up for worse crimes, such as white genocide in South Africa, in which New Zealand is complicit. By genociding cats, or even just threatening to, they are in reality announcing their intention to double-down in their efforts to eradicate the white population of South Africa. More than ever, it is important to go against the mainstream narrative and call these crimes out for what they are.
Eradicate them faster please.
Come for the mountain air, stay for the catterole.
Good onya cuzzos.
I wonder what sort of hellish provisions the current government will make to facilitate this.

I was thinking "have it it boys! kill as many as you like, no questions asked" possibly with a new tourism campaign to appeal to sicko trophy hunters.
But I suppose in the interest of a finding a nice healthy efficient market solution they are obliged to entertain submissions from the MIC.
the only reason I'm letting this neighborhood cat stay outside is because I guess she's one of my neighbor's cats or something, idk, but she's started coming up to my porch to be petted and beg for food
she's super cute and she does the same little trilling chirrup sounds my brother's cat does when she's getting petted
I wonder if they've had a struggle session about this
If it is morally justified to cull cats like this, it is also morally justified to cull humans.
Luckily for you, Hexbear doesn't do downvotes. Have this instead 
"Hurrr durrrr kill the undesirables to retvrn"
Look what fucking instance you're in before you post this your bullshit you unloveable trog
Your highness, I'm a long time hexbear. I've been here for two years at least.
TC69 would have never allowed the likes of you on this board.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link.

-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
