Feral Cat Cull Devastates Macquarie Island

Still offline – my Mac is in the shop and I am currently using my next door neighbour's computer to get you this breaking news, but came across this article today on the effects of killing off the feral cat population on Macquarie Island (located in the Southern Ocean between Australia and the Antarctic). Rabbit numbers have exploded since the last cat was killed in 2000 and the environmental impact has been enormous on the vegetation, as well as the penguin population. You can read all about it on the Iinet website.
