Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Cat owners are being asked to examine the gory remains of the prey their pets drag in to assess whether their penchants for small mammals are depriving other species of their food supplies. The Mammal Society has launched a survey among owners of Britain's 7.2 million cats to examine hunting habits and assess what effect they are having on voles, mice and the like.
The Society is asking people to log the animals their cats prey on so they can build up a picture of whether other species, such as barn owls, are being deprived of their food supplies. The Society is asking those interested to send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: Cat Survey, The Mammal Society, 15 Cloisters House, 8 Battersea Park Road, London SW8 4BG. Matthew Brace
