Cat hunting career alt=A cat walking through a forest with a dead pale-headed rosella parrot hanging from its mouth. Feral cats in Australia are estimated to each kill between five and thirty animals every day, and in 2016 the government of Australia identified Kangaroo Island as one of five priority islands for the eradication of feral cats.

Green moved to Kangaroo Island in 1996, and he was introduced to cat-trapping by two local women. As of 2020, Green has killed over 1,450 cats. To pay for petrol and bait, Green sells tanned cat hides and "stubby holders, bags and other quirky household items" made from them. He provides data about his hunting to the South Australian Department for Environment and Water, and helps scientists at the University of Sydney study feral cats. For his work in wildlife conservation, Barry Green received the Outstanding Individual Award from the Kangaroo Island Natural Resources Management Board, part of the government of South Australia, in 2018.
