Can decimate snake populations too. Cats are ferocious predators

Why people call that predation ? They don’t eat those, they are just out to kill. They are ravagers

A lot of predators do. If a fox gets into a hen house, it kills everything it can. Pole cats (a type of weasel, not cat) does too. It's just the way they are wired.

I saw a juvenile raccoon that broke into a chicken coop. It killed every chicken in there. Then my older brother stabbed it in the eye with a barbeque fork. Which was horrifying to watch as a small child. It got away after that. I choose to believe it survived the ordeal. That it spent its remaining years on earth as a pirate raccoon.

It really wasn't the raccoon's fault it got into the chickens. It was supposed to hunt. We should have protected the chickens better. That was on us.
