Some clown* in New Zealand is advocating eradicating cats because they are an invasive species which has harmed the environment.
Any bets as to which invasive species has done the most damage to the ecosystem in New Zealand? Here's a hint: It isn't Felis catus. It is a certain species of bipedal primate, which can often be found making stupid public pronouncements.

Wasn't it Australia that had a problem with Rabbits as well? Crocks and Snakes and huge spiders are fine but no soft fuzzy critters allowed?

Apparently the issue is the FERAL cats...
Nope, read further and he wants people to not replace their current cats, and admits that while he doesn't expect people to euthanize their pet cats, he'd be OK with it.
Always a good time to pull out the Douglas Adams: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONkf6EZdjEc

Aren't there theories that the black plague was particularly devasting in part due to the killing of felines (due to superstitions?), which caused the rodent population to increase?
Cats are the most popular pet in this country and yes, they are an invasive species. (So are earthworms.)
I imagine that a move to outlaw cats would be met with gunplay. So first they'll ban the guns, then they'll ban the cats.
:)
There are some along those lines.
Uh, they already banned most guns downunder.
Goodbye kitties.

One assurance, the stupid will speak, it will be incomprehensible.
Ah, do we give them their sign now or after the quarantine is lifted?
Eck!
I guess my 7 and 8 pound mutts just won't do...gotta go get a Maine Coon before they get banned!
You can have my Maine Coon. He's a total jerk.
Uh, they already banned most guns downunder.
Goodbye kitties.
