Why do I wonder that? Because I suspect it will happen, and I find that interesting.

Why would someone do that? To "save" the cat island that's in danger, despite this being the intended result.

So that the cats starve to death?

The cat island only existed because fishermen were there to feed them with their catches. The fishermen are gone and the last humans on the island are aging out.

I'm aware, that's why I put 'save' in quotes and mentioned that this is the intended result.
