Resolution on making Sault 'bird-friendly city' requires more research, reader argues
SooToday received the following letter from Selva Rasaiah that was written in response to David Helwig’s story, Corey Gardi launches pro-bird initiative.I would like to comment on your resolution "Nature Canada: Bird Friendly City Certification Program", and the SooToday article discussing it. I think the data used by Nature Canada is a bit exaggerated and doesn't apply to many municipalities like the Sault.
I am not sure how Nature Canada arrives at its data of 59 per cent deaths from feral cats, since this type of data throughout the entire country would require extensive national research and coordination, which is likely not occurring. Loss of habit is likely the biggest issue since food sources become more spare and urban activity disturbs their natural range.
