Australian officials killing millions of feral cats with poisoned sausages

Australian officials are airdropping poisonous sausages across the country in order to kill millions of feral cats that have taken over the continent.

In 2015, the country’s government announced a plan to kill 2 million feral cats by 2020, according to a recent report from The New York Times.

“Feral cats are a real menace and a very significant threat to the health of our ecosystem,” Josh Frydenberg, Australia’s former environment minister, told the paper.
