No offence, but Australia does seem to be the foremost expert on unintended consequence.

Why are they trapping and not just shooting them?

Green pressure perhaps..cant shoot Tiddles now can we!
I suspect that they are shot of course, those trapped cats be shot in trap I reckon..or dropped into a 200L drum of water.
If you have a cat in a trap and want to reset the trap its obvious that they deal with them onsite...but dont divulge how.

With a team of terriers it could make for a great driven day.

You bet and ably assisted by a team of long legged rough coated grabbers too.
