Dogs aren't killing off native bird and rodent populations.
Cats are the #1 invasive animal species in terms of killing off local wildlife, well, #2 if you want to include humans.

I'm the one that started the call for asking cats to be leashed in a woodworking forum. I think you're misunderstanding what/why I wrote what I did.
