And it makes a lot of sense. The region is home to a lot of native bush and coastal areas, and New Zealand has a lot of birds that nest on the ground, including penguins. Cats are one of the many, many threats to New Zealand's birds and to reduce their numbers is a good thing. It wasn't that long ago that a philathropist by the name of Gareth Morgan (who subsequently formed his own political party in the 2017 election and then figured out like acting like a dick to your own party members didn't bode well for political success) suggested banning all cats from New Zealand.

"A docile species, A. gigas is commonly seen in the pet trade; however, imports of A. gigas, as well as a number of other millipedes, into the USA are banned due to agricultural damage caused by the mites they carry."
I can't imagine New Zealand, which likely has vastly more stringent biosecurity measures than the US, would let these in.

1) "CaTs OwNeRs ArE sMaRtEr ThAn DoGs OwNeRs!!!!"
Not only is this retarded in its own right but the linked study is about how cat-people are more introverted and less numerous.
2) "Cats have a smaller carbon footprint than dogs."
If you want to save the planet, go bother China to stop polluting like crazy; owning a doggo for a lifetime is a mere tear in the ocean in comparison to what big companies do in a single day.
3)"Cats are less slobbery than dogs."
Huh... Just... What ?
4)"Owning a cat may reduce your risk of dying from a heart attack."
Bullshit study, again; made even more stupid by the fact that dog often are able to save their owners' life during accidents.
5)"Cats are cheaper than dogs."
Only half decent argument so far but even so, it's still a rather poor one.
In the end, we can indeed conclude Dog >> Cat.
