Feral cats are out of control killing 12 per cent of native birds every year - Katter calls for bounty

Mt Isa-based parliamentarian Robbie Katter is calling for a State-funded cat bounty across North West Queensland, saying feral cats are wreaking havoc on native wildlife, threatening livestock, and spreading dangerous diseases.

“Feral cats are out of control – they’re tearing through native birdlife and small mammals, not just out in the bush, but right in the middle of our towns,” KAP Leader and Member for Traeger Robbie Katter said.

“It’s a slaughter. We know they kill around 12% of Australia’s birds every year – and yet we hear nothing from the green warriors who are usually first to the microphone when there’s a mining project to protest,” Mr Katter said.

“If you genuinely care about the environment, you should be screaming for action on this. The silence is deafening.”

“It’s getting so bad, now in parts of my electorate that cats aren’t moving off the road when a road train approaches.”

Mr Katter praised the Richmond Shire Council for taking initiative by offering a bounty on feral cats – but said it shouldn’t be left up to cash-strapped councils to foot the bill.

“This is a State issue. It’s an ecological disaster and a biosecurity threat,” he said.

“Feral cats can spread lethal diseases, as well, which is a real concern to livestock producers.”

Mr Katter said the State Government must immediately fund a regional cat bounty scheme and overhaul the Biosecurity Act to reflect the scale of the threat posed by feral cats.

“If the State Government is serious about biosecurity, public health and protecting our native species, it must act now.”

12 thought on “Feral cat bounty needed now: Robbie Katter”
  1. Infectious diseases are a fiction. All attempts to transmit so-called infectious diseases have failed.
    The British tried for 43 in their “Common Cold Unit” to transmit the common cold without success.

    Of course, people fall ill. But that is because of vaccines they took as kids, medications and toxins in their food. If you eat nutritious food, drink clean water, never take medications or vaccines, get plenty of sunshine, you will never fall ill.

  2. Looks like you are from a university which says it all. Please send your address so we can get the rangers to catch a dozen or so ferals and we can drop them off in your chook pen so you can look after them. Compliments of KAP of course. Editor

  3. Aussiemal said – “… Is there a way to play off feral cats against marauding crocodiles?”

    I say, let ’em duke it out.

    My money’s on the cats, they have nine lives after all, and they do have a taste for eggs. No chicken eggs in Australia any more, so Crocodile eggs are the next best thing.

    Come to think of it, why aren’t crocodile eggs being sold by the dozen in the supermarkets now? I’d like to see all those white-coated shit-head beauracrats on their genocidal Globalist power-trip march onto the river banks to exterminate all the crocs, in fact I’d pay to see that.

  4. Hey folks,

    You DO understand that the cat in the headline photo is about the same size as a Great Dane, right? Shame there’s nothing in shot to register the scale of the thing.

    The Australian Outback has that effect on ferals, hence the Razorbacks as big as Rhinos. Even the Crocodiles in the Outback are gigantic, but no-one has ever lived to tell the tale.

    It’s what I heard.

  5. The katters come across as some kind of nutjobs who just flat out hate living things. That cats and bird spreading diseases is a lie.

    It’s just their excuse for killing those creatures of God. Why don’t they ever come up with a rescue plan instead of always wanting to kill – it just shows their true colors. They are just violent, and do not show an ounce of true intelligence.

    I hope all demons will turn blue so it’s easier to see who’s who.

  6. Pay youths $10 per tail. $5 per ear or whatever. Or more. Tax free.
    A gun, a tent. a pack and 30 days at a time could prove very beneficial.
    May be a food drop every so often.
    Phone charging?

  7. If you believe the bullshit coming from the bio labs with their mRNA and Crispr-KASS-9 gene editing etc you would believe they could get rid of any number of ferals by some genetic treatment, unfortunately they can’t do anything useful or even marketable, such as prevent baldness, turn women’s hair blonde, change drag queens from Xy to XX, they can’t do nuthin’, they are a bunch of frauds, their only customer is the crooked government and over-servicing village quacks. Bloody government is bloody useless as usual and as always, pack of skunks.
    Claire Oneill is probably the worst one in gov’t, “Hello Klaus what should I say now”

  8. Is there a way to play off feral cats against marauding crocodiles? Maybe poisoning of the cats which are then fed to the crocodiles.
