January 2020 - The Herald publish article, Having a cat is like tossing a grenade onto a bird table, by Rosemary Goring, based upon my recent article for The Conversation:Rescued grey squirrels to be killed under new law – but Britain’s ‘invasive’ problem runs much deeper. In addition to The Conversation article, you can read an extended Blog version here.
January 2020 - The Times publish article, Culling grey squirrels but loving cats? It’s nuts, says scientist, based upon my recent article for The Conversation:Rescued grey squirrels to be killed under new law – but Britain’s ‘invasive’ problem runs much deeper. The Times article lacks the wider context of my original The Conversation article - which is about how society views and treats the grey squirrel. In The Conversation article (and also my interview with Marc Horne) I acknowledged the damage (ecological and economic) caused to woodland and forestry by the grey squirrel. Research indicates that domestic and feral cats take a lot more native birds than grey squirrels do, and are likely to have a greater impact. That does not mean "Domestic cats are more destructive and invasive than grey squirrels" - this requires evaluation of ecological (and economic) impact across a number of planes. In my discussion with Marc Horne, I also acknowledged the welfare and ethics concerns of keeping domestic cats indoors - this is not going to be good for all cats. In addition to The Conversation article, you can read an extended Blog version here.

January 2020 - The Herald publish article, Having a cat is like tossing a grenade onto a bird table, by Rosemary Goring, based upon my recent article for The Conversation:Rescued grey squirrels to be killed under new law – but Britain’s ‘invasive’ problem runs much deeper. In addition to The Conversation article, you can read an extended Blog version here.
January 2020 - The Times publish article, Culling grey squirrels but loving cats? It’s nuts, says scientist, based upon my recent article for The Conversation:Rescued grey squirrels to be killed under new law – but Britain’s ‘invasive’ problem runs much deeper. The Times article lacks the wider context of my original The Conversation article - which is about how society views and treats the grey squirrel. In The Conversation article (and also my interview with Marc Horne) I acknowledged the damage (ecological and economic) caused to woodland and forestry by the grey squirrel. Research indicates that domestic and feral cats take a lot more native birds than grey squirrels do, and are likely to have a greater impact. That does not mean "Domestic cats are more destructive and invasive than grey squirrels" - this requires evaluation of ecological (and economic) impact across a number of planes. In my discussion with Marc Horne, I also acknowledged the welfare and ethics concerns of keeping domestic cats indoors - this is not going to be good for all cats. In addition to The Conversation article, you can read an extended Blog version here.
