In Shooting Cats, VICE set out to explore the consequences of Australia’s feral cat plague, and confront the uncomfortable and violent realities of dealing with it. Most suburban Australians give feral cats little thought. But for residents of the country’s rural fringes, they’re a diabolical pest and scourge on wildlife. Found in 99 percent of Australia, they’re estimated to kill more than two million native animals a day. That devastation has seen Kangaroo Island local Barry Green declare a personal war against cats; trapping and skinning them, before turning them into hats and fridge magnets.

Feral cats are estimated to kill more than two million native animals a day in Australia, so the locals of Kangaroo Island took matters into their own hands.

6:50 that's Davos Seaworth right there!
OH HELL NO
Idk why but I kind of want this as a job. Hunting cats to help the environment.
My cat next to me : wipes sweat off forehead PHEW
Well they definitely dont have to worry about those now. ??
They brought them in the first place and now they’re killing them, such hypocrites!
Maybe there was a reason Australian wildlife was so different, cats and dogs were introduced.
This is so unethical and evil. Why don't you either a) trap them and spay/neuter at a local clinic, or b) put sterilization drugs in their food?
Does he eat them also lmao I mean my cat is a dick but ok
Why!!! You do this ????????????????????????????????????
Take a shot of…
Vodka every time someone comments "YOU MONSTER."
Tequila everytime someone comments "DISGUSTING."
Rum everytime someone threatens to hunt down and kill the feral cat hunters.
Kamikaze at every comment that mentions Karma (do a double if they include the bushfires)
Jägerbomb at every "DO TNR." comment (double up if they also mention relocating the cats to an island/sanctuary)
Silver Bullet for every comment suggesting they be put into shelters and adopted out.
Humans are weird…you cry for cats and dogs but have no problem eating cows, rabbits, sheep, pigs, ducks……
Why did they shoot the cat
You guys need to kill them faster put poison out , shot them all they are dangerous to humans and other animals.
If this is anything it’s disgusting unnecessary and inhumanly revolting. If you can kill “feral” cats whenever you please why shouldn’t we try killing the feral humans like you?? It’s in no way their fault for being feral and is in fact yours, the people who get fed up of the cats who are not cute and cuddly anymore, throw them out onto the streets, overpopulate them and then go out and shoot them all to hang on bedroom wall or display on he coffee table! People like you make me wonder why humans still exist.
crazies: OMG STOP KILLING CATS YOU MONSTERS KILLING ANIMALS IS WRONG.
same crazies: eat meat, use products tested on animals, ignore all the animals killed to protect crops and at harvest, use traps/poison on rodents, completely ignores all the animals hunted and killed in their own country
I live in where they live when I find them I’m calling the cops that’s not right
What kind of nation
They need to be stoped stop killing animals
I hate cats. These people are doing the right job.
Stupid ever!
You monster
And is 1 fucking possum worth 1400 cats
They're gonna loose just like the emu war
??????? I should tell the cops

Dick
This is why australia is burning today?
You people are doing an incredible job, I hope you keep it up!
Blessings for that.
I recommend instead of killing the poor creatures you could maybe put a couple Into an wild life area sarounded by bars and feed them a well diet. And I don't agree with killing animals as an option I would put that Idea straight into the trash.?
