Savannah cats banned from Australia

Savannah cats - crosses between domestic cats and the wild African serval -
have been banned in Australia as they pose a very high threat to native
fauna.

other places around)

If you're paddling upstream in a canoe and a wheel falls off, how many
pancakes can you fit in a doghouse? None, icecream doesn't have bones.

Now I don't understand this - isn't ALL Australian fauna AND flora
poisonous (BIG grin)?

I'm not surprised. Imported fauna have already done way too much damage in
Australia.

Unless they could be trained to hunt and eat only rabbits? ;-)

Only to humans. Cats appear to be immune to most of our bites & stings for
some reason.

Maybe because cats didn't evolve along with the rest of the ecosystem?
The poisonous animals needed to develop poisons that would kill or
disable the animals (prey or predators) in the environment, but cats
weren't there, so there's no reason why their poisons had to hurt cats
at all. Just a theory.
