Study: Kitties kill 500 million birds, should be regulated

Pet kitties and their wild feral relatives kill a shocking 500 million birds and over 3 billion other animals according to new studies, prompting a leading Washington-based bird protection group to demand that local governments order their dog catchers to snag cats too.

One disturbing new study is based on evidence from “KittyCams” strapped on to 60 outdoor pet cats in Athens, Ga. The results: They each averaged 2.1 “kills” a week. Just 13 percent were birds, the rest voles, lizards, chipmunks, frogs and small snakes.
