That’s one type of bird that is globally in the “least concerned” category and that lives in an environment where the concentration of cats per km is very low.

Is the barn swallow and the impact of cats in rural locations really the way you want to go about arguing against scientific studies on the impact of cat populations on wildlife in general? That’s the hill you want to die on?

I know it’s hard to admit we’re wrong but you can also just stop replying so you stop digging your hole.

Barn swallows are listed as at risk in Canada.

Tree Swallows meanwhile are at least concern.

If you're going to try and admonish me about something, at be remotely right and not 100% wrong.

  Tell me again how I’m not remotely right about it, please!
  
  We’re talking about a global issue and you’re trying to move the discussion to talk about one species of birds in one country and that, again, l doesn’t live where cats are found in high density.
  
  You’re wrong, cats are an issue, get over it.
