A total of 370 feral cats were killed during a cat hunting competition held in the North Canterbury region of New Zealand. The organizer of the event stated that originally it was planned as a pig hunting competition, but due to the increasing number of cats, it turned into a cat hunting competition. The organizer also mentioned that they had to kill 40 cats throughout the year due to the diseases carried by the cats. One participant won 500 New Zealand dollars by killing 65 cats in the competition.

In the cat hunting competition in the North Canterbury region of New Zealand, 370 wild cats were killed, causing controversy.

370 CATS KILLED

According to Radio New Zealand (RNZ), the organizer of the event, Matt Bailey, stated that the competition started as a "wild boar hunting" competition but turned into a "cat hunting" competition when the increasing number of feral cats was noticed. In the competition where a total of 370 wild cats were killed, one person won the "prize" worth 500 New Zealand dollars (approximately 10,000 Turkish lira) by killing 65 cats.

KILLED CATS CARRY DISEASES

Bailey, who stated that he killed 40 cats during the year due to the diseases carried by the cats to his farm, emphasized that this is not a new situation but caused many controversies because New Zealanders love cats very much. Bailey pointed out the decrease in the number of birds and lizards due to abandoned cats in rural areas and stated that there should be a legal regulation to prevent people from throwing cats into rural areas.
