Poll: Man traps cats in backyard to save his birds
Morning neighbours,
Phil Evan's anti-cat tactics are proving to be a divisive topic with people voicing strong opinions on both sides of the debate.
Evans has taken to trapping cats in his backyard, soaking them then shooting them off his property with a hose jet so they don't return.
What's your take on other people's cats roaming through backyards? Is Evans justified in protecting his property? And do you think something needs to be done at council level to address the issue?
NOTE: Please refrain from personal attacks in comments - play the ball and not the man. Also put NFP in your comment if you do not want it to be reported in the Times.

45.9% Owners need to contain their cats

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
