Islington Tribune - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 16 March 2007
 
Garden savagery

FIFTEEN years ago, our garden swarmed with sparrows which nested in the ivy, while a blackbird used the crab apple tree for a song post.
When the sparrows disappeared we had blue tits in their place and the blackbirds still sung.
Now all are gone. This is not due to climate chance but to the hordes of predatory cats in the neighbourhood.
They kill, not for food but because it is in their nature. With excess numbers of these carnivores, wild birds – like the fish in our pond – stand no chance.
PROFESSOR JL CLOUDSLEY-THOMPSON
Battishill Street, N1
