I and my wife have owned 5 cats over the years and enjoyed their company along w the hassles of indoor cats, I am not a cat hater. However I am upset at the news that a cat loving group has sued our Co. animal control agency to have them allow the group to trap feral cats, sterilize and inoculate the healthy ones and re-release them back to their wild roaming existance. They sued to obtain some cats that animal control had trapped before they could trap them. It is currently illegal to release non native animals, It's called abandonment. This is claimed to be a solution to the feral cat problem that is accross our state and probably the nation. I find no logic as to how this will solve the feral cat problems at all. I guess the nuts that care so much for these poor cats have no compassion for the countless songbirds, rabbits, squirrels, ( most often babys) and other native animals that feral cats kill to survive; only the nasty wild cats? They also threaten domestic cats allowed to roam outside their owners homes. The president of the group trying to make a case for their desire to release trapped cats was quoted saying "killing the cats doesn't work, It never has" I fail too see how this could be possible. A cat that is not roaming wild canot cause problems. I just don't get it? I think the concerned group should take these cats into their own homes if they want to save them all from being put down, evedently they want feral cats to become a new native species? Can anyone explain this logic, I'm baffled.
