High-powered air rifles used in Little Cayman feral cat cull
More than 250 feral cats in Cayman Brac and Little Cayman have been culled since the official culling programme began on the Sister Islands, according to official figures, with a new tactic being the use of high-powered air rifles to euthanise cats in Little Cayman.
Environment minister Katherine Ebanks-Wilks told MPs in the latest meeting of the Finance Committee that 49 feral cats had been culled on Cayman Brac and 209 on Little Cayman, as the felines had been eradicating native species which needed to be protected.
