Villkat,

"a novel, humane and automated tool "??
In the sense that human cruelty knows no bounds? Poisoning cats seems like a ruthless way to control the problem.
And won't cat corpses, covered in poison, have an impact on habitat and other species?

The alternatives are traps where they get left to starve until they're checked, or shooting where sometimes they're not killed outright just wounded.b

And that is what is required. Every feral cat kills hundreds of native animals every year. So every one killed saves all those deaths.

Ground animals below 5kg, potoroos, bandicoots etc are basically extinct on mainland Australia mainly due to feral cats.

So you're saying cats crashed the bandicoot population?

For anyone wondering why such an extreme measure is being undertaken.

Toxic gel? Oh... they lick it off their fur and ingest it. Yikes.
