completely wrong - it is a meta-analysis and many of the drug studies done are done the same way
it is not news that domestic cats are strong predators on songbirds, some of which are threatened or endangered but this analysis shows that the problem is much more severe than previously thought, besides any partitioning of feral vs. pet animals
all you guys should at least make an effort to read the actual study before posting
