Saint Helena - wildlife and heritage

[@Mr91495osh]

I am drawn to this island. I am fascinated by this island.

[@Ginverh]

So wonderful place.

I always wonder, if they only remove the cats, doesn't that increase the problems of rats and mice? At least the cats hunt them (mice especially) aswell as the birds...

I struggle to understand keeping cats - any cats - on an isolated island with ground nesting birds. Domestic cats never did and do not belong there.

Humans are also alien, it ok for them to being there ?

[@NsegGqrqlg4507]

Rats come off ships passing by...

[@gonorrheabreath3774]

hughvane people are not rational beings... so of course some would bring their cats. Ya silly goose.

[@alexk7973]

I agree with funtorture. The cats, rats and mice would probably have been introduced quite early on by the ships coming to the island. All the ships used to have cats on them to control the rodent infestation that naturally occured with all the stored food items. And I guess with spaying and neutering not yet being a thing, they would have an overpopulation of cats every few months, happy to drop some off at the next island. It probably was either that or just kill off the excess...

[@kumarsatyam3314]

Why don't they introduce these species into the rest of the world?

[@Q_QQ_Q]

no

[@Zinimust]

It's so un-dominating accent this British accent. The world should accept the strong and beautiful North American accent.

[@Q_QQ_Q]

lol

[@Valencetheshireman927]

The American accent is rubbish. Especially the valley girl

Attacking Russia was really really stupid.
