then we should set out a bunch of coyotes,
to keep the feral cat population in check.
what could possibly go wrong?
Sure, we could try it in Australia first. They love that kind of thing. It always goes great for them.
Nah the coyotes would just all get eaten by the spiders
Australia already has dingos, which are like coyotes except they eat babies instead of cats.
You paint a whole house and nobody calls you a painter, but you eat one baby...
"So, we set coyotes loose to catch the cats. Then what? We get a wolf to eat the coyotes? Then we get a tiger to eat the wolf!? WHAT EATS THE TIGER, DAD - TELL ME THAT!"
I mean you are partially right. Bringing back wolves would help in NA. They are supposed to be a part of the ecosystem and might help keep coyotes in check to a degree at least and would certainly keep killer deer population is n check. They were eliminated more out of fear than legitimate threat and killer deer have now far exceeded human threat compared to wolves.

In Minnesota, we let five months of inhospitable winter do the dirty work for us.
I've got bad news if you think cats don't survive winter... And I'm living in a more northern region too...
It definitely culls our local population.
Or there is just more predation in the winter, more starvation, or more car strikes; you don't know it's the cold
I don't understand your point. I'm saying the effects of an inhospitable winter environment does quite a bit of the dirty work for keeping feral cat populations in check. Were you agreeing with me?
