which also contribute to the problem. Also humans.

The article said that one thing that should happen is keep Fluffy inside (which is a good practice anyway - just ask the songbirds).

I think you are joking, but it is serious and the authors did not advocate getting rid of Fluffy - just do more research to quantify what is going on. Policy discussions can come later.
