Speaker 3: Cats love a bit of nighttime action. Yeah.

16
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: But see, this is what I didn't know because I've

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: done a bit of research and oh my gosh, they

18
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: are killing machines.

19
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 3: This cannot be right. They're hunting at night for sure.

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 3: How's this on average?

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,639
Speaker 2: In Australia every twenty four hours cats kill? It says

22
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 2: here two point nine two million mammals every twenty four hours.

23
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: That can't be right.

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: And then it says mammals yeah.

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 2: One point six seven million reptiles. It kills a million

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: birds in Australia every day. And there's what. We've got

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: one point six million pet cats living in New South

28
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: Wales and there's five million cats all around Australia.

29
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: Obviously a lot of wild ones.

30
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: But they are killing machines.

31
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: So if we go back to the mammal comment, because

32
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm taken back Tommy and mammal, I my understanding was

33
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: is a warm blooded animal.

34
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.

35
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: So anything from rats to deer, monkeys' bats.

36
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: So you think the cats are killing monkeys at night?

37
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: What dolphins? Dolphins? Are they? That's right? The shark as

38
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,520

40
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it.

41
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: I can't have that from I don't know too much

42
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: of an issue with a cat killer.

46
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: for an hour or two and then I told you

47
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 2: Bej's put the apple ear tag on the cat and

48
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 2: it went missing two kilometers down the road, ended up

49
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: in swamp land, so she couldn't get to it. Then

50
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: when she woke up in the morning, her phone beeped, yep,

51
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: there was a notification saying the cats at the front door.

52
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 2: But we let the cat out for an hour last night.

53
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: Came back with the gecko. She's screamed, bjay's screaming the

54
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,000

00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: can do that hunter gecko.

56
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,000

67
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,320

68
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: ability to actually lift off the ground and fly away,

69
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,480
