Good. At last someone is taking proactive action to protect wildlife and a fairly significant project too.
Time to stop allowing any cats to wander free and then a price on every pelt brought in.
Can we stick the topic at hand and not have side discussions on peoples likes and dislikes of cats.

They could ban cats, then introduce every known pathogen. Apart from cats being a pest, I think people who like them as pets are creepy too.
[doublepost=1526546561,1526546062][/doublepost]The smarter option would be to farm species that will go extinct without crazy interventions. Marsupial meat production is the best option for sustainable agriculture.
I like cats, in my sight with a projectile being sent at 3-4 thousand feet per second, it is called conservation.
I'm pretty amused to see a herper making that comment about cat keepers! If you ever want to see a human freak show,
This is the type of comment herpers get sooky and whingy and angry about when it is made against them. 'The only good snake...', brags about kills, etc. Both ethically and diplomatically, this statement of yours is really bad.
Herper wierdos are often interesting people, many have a good dark sense of humour. I don't think you can say that about crazy cat women.
As for cat shooting, I'm not a diplomat, and I don't kill peoples pets. If people find shooting feral cats offensive or even legal killing of dangerous snakes, I don't care. It seems we both agree that we should be eating cute fluffy native animals to a greater extent, that is extremely offensive to some people too. I have no interest in pandering to some sort of vegan cat woman agenda. Rats are friendlier than cats and are make far superrior pets, I kill lots of them too.
You may not be a diplomat, and neither am I really, but you're still harming your own cause, which means you either don't care about helping the situation or you're ignorant. The fact that you don't care doesn't mean no one else cares or that you're not causing harm. I am well known among the herp community as not caring for diplomacy, but if even I see an issue with a failure of diplomacy you can be sure it's not a good look.
My initial perception was that you were not being serious but looking for a reaction. Perhaps I am wrong? Irrespective, for the sake of anyone reading this who might put stock in what you have said above…They could ban cats, then introduce every known pathogen.

Banning something is no solution, even if you could. Have a read about the banning of alcohol in the 1920’s (prohibition). Keeping exotic reptiles is banned. That is a totally impractical suggestion for numerous and there of no worth.
As for introducing pathogens - they would if they could. Domestic pets could be immunised, as was done with Calicivirus and rabbits. They simply do not have a cat specific pathogen that will exterminate cats. This is yet another reason why it is pointless to even attempt to ban cats.
You demonstrate little understanding of the marsupial species they are trying to protect. I can enlarge on this if you wish.
We currently utilise kangaroos for human consumption. So why hasn’t kangaroo meat replaced chicken, lamb/mutton, pork and beef? Even if you restrict the conversation to rangeland agriculture, and only beef cattle, you would be expecting people to do without over sixty plus cuts of meat (https://static.businessinsider.com/image/542dc0d9ecad043c198e9c35-1200/image.jpg). Again, a superficially nice idea, but just ‘pie in the sky’ in the real world.
Denigrating aother's character (intellect in this case) does not become you.I don't have the intellect to deal with overly emotional idiots. I like to think if a rational person is 'triggered' by something I say, they might think about it and look for the truth. I have no idea if it works, but it might. I also find it amusing, especially after a few drinks.

I think if kangaroo was marketted differently and priced as a cheap alternative to beef and chicken rather than as a gourmet, expensive alternative, it would increase in popularity. It's pathetic that it is being kept this way. I'm sure the beef industry is using political sway to keep it that way.
