Lets not forget also media in all forms love controversy ,it sells headlines and other mundane clickbait shit they have on websites etc etc.anything to do with firearms and a good hystrionic headline and away you go.

There are no stats in NZ, but they keep them in the USA. Every year, out of 76 million cats - 5.4 million are run over with a 97% mortality rate (source US National Traffic Safety Administration). Note the population is a little on the high side of estimates.

There are estimated 1.219 million pet cats in NZ, so if we extrapolate the numbers above that comes out to 84 thousand cats getting run over each year (thats probably a little low given the higher population est above). That's 230 cats run over a day.

...one cat shot because owners let it roam, versus 230 cats A DAY run over because owners let them roam. Anyone else see the root problem here?

Yep cats not wearing their high viz

This was a big tom with the mighty Stirling 14p back in 2017 before I gave the old rifle a new stock.
