An interesting little bit in our paper this morning in which Chris Packham suugested that if cat owners kept their cats in overnight the number of songbirds killed could be reduced by 50%.Not sure what the cats or their owners will think about this but does it mean that Sparrowhawks and corvids have been taking the blame for the cats misdeeds all these years and can they demand an apology ?No doubt some cat owners will be up in arms at Chris's suggestion but others may welcome it.

There was a story and pictures in the Sun on Saturday where a live kitten was fed to a snake filmed and put on the internet
Now that makes my blood boil

As Lolly says if we only read the "horror"stories in the press we would think that the world is a horrible place.Luckily people abusing animals and other people are in a minority but the rest of the "normal"population do not sell papers with lurid headlines,Headlines like "old lady feeds stray cat"or "man caught feeding nuts to birds"would not cause a rush on the news stands.Please do not get too depressed it is not such a bad world out there on a whole.
