Yeah - these were the same Fairy Terns that chose an empty block next to a building site last yeah - I’d wandered over to see why there were so many plant pots and buckets half buried in the sand, and discovered that while there were warning signs put up around the block, they were only put up on three sides of the block :( Was very sad to hear about the massacre - loosing that many adults and chicks is a serious blow to the species
jesus
please keep your cats indoors.
While there is little an individual can usually do to stem the tide of environmental destruction, proper domestic animal management is one thing that individuals can actually help a lot.
This means not releasing any pet into the wild where it can be invasive, be that pet a cat, fish, reptile or what have you. Goldfish are invasive. Rats are invasive. Cats are not an exception.
