Who would have thought removing all the feral cats from an island would end up costing authorities over $16 million dollars. That is exactly what happened when they decided to do to save the birds living on Macquarie. The cats were eating the birds for lunch. After eradicating (I hope eradicating means finding them loving homes) all the cats from the Australian Island, the killer bunnies took over. They ate all the vegetation that the birds depend on. Now the birds are toast. Removing the cats caused widespread environmental devastation. It would have been a lot cheaper to just bring the cats a bunch of Meow Mix dry cat food. Then they would not need to eat the birds to survive. Instead, someone suggested removing the cats and the rabbits! Yikes, when will people learn not to mess with the way things are supposed to be.
