There always needs to be a logical flow of structure to keep your presentation coherent and well understood by the audience. In my presentation, I provided an alternate solution to prevent the problem caused by feral cats in Australia. Instead of killing cats, I proposed trapping, neutering and releasing approach(TNR) and claimed that it was more effective than killing. I first presented how killing cats will not be effective in the long run as it is impossible to catch and kill all cats in a country. There would remain some cats and they would breed raining the population again. And after proposing
