Nēnē Gosling Death Points To Disease Carried By Feral Cats

[My 2 cents]

the infection is “spread only in the feces of feral cats”

All cats, regardless of domestication. Read the warning on the kitty litter. The only difference is that feces from pet cats is more likely to end up in the landfill where it's less likely to contaminate the environment.

Well, that raises even more questions.  I don’t know about the kitty litter.  We don’t use the stuff.  Our cat poops outside and I’m quite sure that ours isn’t the only one.  So why isn’t this a huge problem for humans and other domestic animals? 

Also, The article says “Toxoplasmosis, an infection spread only in the feces of feral cats, is likely what killed a nēnē gosling”.  So they’re not even sure?  They’re starting a crusade to starve all the cats based on an assumption? 

There are definitely some discrepancies and conflicts in this that need to be questioned and not just accepted because the DLNR with their (less than) stellar track record says so.
