Hunt has been leading the movement to save Australia’s wildlife with a plan to destroy up to 2 million feral cats throughout the country by 2020.

Hunt claims there are approximately 20 million feral cats in Australia. Since cats were introduced to Australia two centuries ago, more than 10 percent of native species have been wiped out, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation report.

In addition, Australian cities are being encouraged to adopt 24-hour curfews for domestic cats. While difficult to enforce, owners who do not comply could face fines.

Actress and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot and PETA have spoken out against Australia’s plan to reduce and contain the cat population.
