Well gee whiz, just the other day they were complaining about too many insects being killed by motorists. Now they're complaining about the loss of birds leading to not enough insects being killed.

RUSH: Dutch drivers committing insecticide! "Dutch motorists kill about 133 billion insects a month, splattering bugs on their vehicles and eliminating important members of the food chain, according to a study released this week. Biologists at Wageningen University in the Netherlands enlisted the help of 250 drivers for a 'splash teller' study. Each motorist had to wipe his or her car license plate clean then tote up the bug body count at the end of their drive. 'They are by far the richest species groups in all countries, and therefore play an essential role in the food chain,' biologist Arnold van Vliet, one of a team working on the project, told Reuters. 'Many birds such as swallows, who hunt for insects, depend on insect density. If insect numbers are low they inevitably face severe problems finding food for their young,' he said."

Well, if motorists kill enough insects, the birds will die off, thus decreasing the cat population.  Problem solved.
We are so far past and beyond the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that the Colonists and Founders experienced and which necessitated the Revolutionary War that they aren’t even visible in the rear-view mirror.
