Cats don't have the intelligence to make a moral decision - they kill birds because that is in their nature. You could turn vegetarian and save the lives of thousands of chickens, ducks etc. Just think how many birds have been killed to feed you for 40 years.
Probably a few hundred, maybe a thousand. But they were bred to be food. I don't moralise on the ethics of eating animals, my concerns are the ecology of the countryside. Our countryside including our gardens.
Thanks for your thoughts everyone. Max is now at peace.
