Just seen the tageszeitung headline about the tierheims already filling fast with our feline friends. It seems a bit of a shame to toss out pussy at this time of year..or at all. What about foxes and other preditators? Are we going to exterminate all animals that may be in the food chain?

Typical overreaction of the ignorant. Get rid of them thats what I say.
