Did anyone know that feral cats are regarded as "alien species"?

They don't want them to "contaminate" Scottish wildcats. They have recently abonded a breeding programme due to finding moggie genes in what they thought were pure Wildcats.
PDF is here if anyone is interested.

I haven't read it all as I have too much other stuff to look at but I can't understand how they can regard feral cats as alien but owned cats differently  :Crazy: - I will ask  www.ptes.org/files/908_sobm_2010.pdf
DO NOT BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain
