Now that Australians are eating feral cat, when can we expect the rest of the western world to join them?

Wild (feral) cat casserole, said to taste like a cross between rabbit and chicken.

Feral cats are not just a serious threat to Australia's native fauna, but have also been shown to be a major reason for the reduction of song birds in the UK, Europe and the US. As pet cat populations have soared in the western world, wildlife experts have also shown that our pet tabbies are a primary factor in the reduction of song birds and small mammals when ever we let them out.

And where ever we have pet cats, feral cats are soon to follow.

Of course this is most noticeable in Australia, where marsupials have almost been completely wiped out by marauding pets and their wild feral relatives.

So, should we all tuck into cat casserole, become friends of the earth and save the worlds precious wild life?

Any thoughts?

And for those who disbelieve Australians would do such a thing:

Hon, I have lived in outback Australia all my life and have never met one single person who eats cat casserole!
Just because one crazy person enters it in to a competition for a few laughs does not make it fact....
Still your source is Brittish what else would you expect from a bunch like that?

eeew.

Never. Keep it to yourself and put another shrimp on the barby for usa.

Chef Emeril Lagasse tried cooking dishes using nutria rat. Parts of Louisiana have a bad nutria rat problem & he figured he could help by preparing interesting dishes using this animal. It didn't catch on...

....when we become as deprived and desperate as the Australians.

disgustinly gross! I would never eat that!!

I'm with Ariel on this, I too have lived in the outback most of my life and I have never met anyone who has even mentioned eating feral cats and I am old enough to be Ariel's father...
There is a bloke in Sth Aust (Kangaroo Island) who hunts them and makes all sorts of things out of the skins...
He makes "coon-skin" hats, stubby holders etc, but I have never heard of him putting them in the pot...
BB... )O(

i'd have some, if it comes with kangaroo milk and witchety grub sauce.
