NSW government launches feral cat control program in national parks using expert shooters.

The New South Wales (NSW) government is launching a program to combat the rising population of feral cats in national parks by recruiting expert shooters. The initiative, led by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, aims to reduce the estimated 6.3 million feral cats threatening native wildlife. This effort includes trials of non-lethal methods and has sparked debate, as some animal rights groups oppose lethal control, advocating instead for non-lethal solutions.
