Key points:
A cat management facility is opening on Bruny Island, in a bid to manage the island s long-standing feral cat problem
The centre will offer de-sexing, re-homing and assistance in trapping cats
It s hoped the facility will be a model for the rest of Australia when it comes to managing feral cats
But on Bruny Island, off Tasmania s south-east coast, they might as well be. Feral, stray and pet cats hunt native wildlife, unchecked at the top of the food chain.
