  thats my point

  If house cats were actually some kind of living natural disaster, birds would have driven extinct millenia ago. To solely blame housecats for the mass extinction of songbirds that have existed beside them for hundreds to thousands of years without any appreciable population effect is insane.

  Also while DDT has its own host of issues regarding it building up in the food chain, my concern here is the post-DDT ones.
