P.244 right column 3rd paragraph: "Churcher and Lawton (primary source) examined a poorly understood source of bird death: the domestic cat. They found that at least 20 million birds a year are killed by Britain’s cats. If cats in the United States hunt as effectively, and if cat numbers correspond to human populations, then [investigators] might expect more than 80 million birds to be killed annually by domestic felines in the United States." |
