Scientists call cats “threat to global ecosystem”.
Ecologists have established that cats are the greatest threat to the global ecosystem of the Earth. These adorable animals blame the extinction of every four extinct species.
The domestic cat (Felis Catis) accompanies people around the world, finding loot everywhere, where he lives. As a result, according to the researchers, cats are associated with the disappearance of 26% of the total number of extinct species of animals.
Australian environmentalist Tim Doherty and his colleagues analyzed data from the red book to determine which predators are most dangerous for the local animals (endemics). They found that, “596 species threatened with extinction, and 142 of extinct species has suffered from 30 species of carnivorous mammals”.
In addition to cats, the list includes various rodents, dogs and pigs. Cats, according to the researchers, “responsible”, for example, for the extinction of 40 species of birds alone.
Researchers have identified the species most at risk: these are the animals that occupy small ecological niches, for example – live on the island. To help rare animals to not get caught in the fluffy paws, scientists are asked to tie on the neck seal bells – after the hunt not only homeless cats, but our Pets. And even better – not to release the cats from the premises.
