摘要: Abstract The need for lethal control of feral cats will remain in some contexts and potentially increase others, alongside an obligation to develop apply methods that are as cost-effective, humane target-specific possible. Drawing on practices particularly used Australia, New Zealand offshore islands we review current techniques applied cat removal, such shooting, trapping poison baiting, how our understanding behaviour has influenced their development application.
