The Australian government this week announced an action plan to reduce the country’s cat population. The plan includes authorizing the hunting and killing of cats caught in the wild.
The action was taken following the release of a United Nations report which concluded invasive species were the main cause of biodiversity loss in Australia. Cats are considered one of the most damaging invasive species to the country’s environment.

The action plan also includes other measures such as: limiting the number of cats per family, forcing owners to keep their animals at home at night and creating catfree areas.
Australian Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek said the plan was “an important step towards protecting Australia’s biodiversity”. “Cats pose a significant threat to local wildlife,” Plibersek said. “This plan aims to give communities the tools they need to protect their native animals and plants.”

The plan is still in the public consultation phase and is expected to be implemented next year.

The Australian government’s plan is ambitious and could have a significant impact on Australia’s cat population. However, it is still too early to say whether the measure will be effective in protecting local wildlife.
