...Whatever the TNR groups are trying to do matters not! What they accomplish is perpetuating the predation of an unwanted pet on our already threatened wildlife! The cat orgs cripple realistic and responsible efforts at eliminating the cats through their write ins, boycotts, etcetera, then say, see that didn't work!
...And still more: Before you say it, I'll tell you your next move, Cat org rhetoric number 47 (or whatever.) "Cats are only an extinction threat on islands." Well, shake it or break it, no man is an island, but our ecology is, and it may be twenty miles or three hundred miles between areas our song birds can feed or nest in. Your feral cats have a full bowl of cat munchies available night and day somewhere on every block in most residential areas.
More: As long as it is not the weak or the sick cats' right? Can you name me one time in the last 400 years the domestic cat species has been faced with extinction?
"Domestic cats are consid-
ered primarily responsible for the extinction of 33 bird
species since the 1600s. In New Zealand alone, cats
were primarily responsible for the extinction of eight
bird species and the eradication of 41 others from
islands. There are at least 90 million pet cats in the
United States, and perhaps an equal number of stray
and feral cats. Scientists estimate that our nation’s
free-roaming cats kill hundreds of millions of birds."
More yet: Attrition? That's another cat org myth! Los Angeles was one of the birthplaces of TNR, and how well has it worked for them? I read yesterday one of the cat orgs themselves had said Los Angeles County had three million cats, compassion, non-lethal, humane that! How many tons of our wildlife do you suppose they kill each day?
And more: Yes, and by enabling the cats to be well-fed, stronger, better predators you become part and parcel to our threatened wildlife's extinction!
More replies to rhetoric!: Yeah, yeah, right. Just what part of that is supposed to be a rational reason for us to ignore the hundreds of millions or billion of our birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish the second largest largest threat, cats, kill? Your cat org. rhetoric is showing! That loss is not sustainable! Look it up, it means we will be hip deep in unwanted cats, as the title of this story says, "Feral feline population exploding", and our wildlife they're killing will be gone down their gullets!
My post: Through this entire story not one person mentioned any remorse for the thousands of our wildlife those pets kill each year, they show no concern for nature at all! I hope they're not teaching their children to be so irresponsible too!

THey are not teaching the children. As long as we have a throw away mentality with our companion animals the paradigm of ignored animal cruelty will roll on, one generation to another. We need to institute a requirement for a license to be issued before any one can own a pet and every pet must be licensed. Licensed breeders. Inspected kennels and whelping pens. I've hired a web master to build a web site to fight against this before it is too late. The web master is working on logos--I gotta say I sure like and envy yours. You did a good job. I was really sickened to see the Texas Senate put out the letter of intention saying they would not be putting feral cats on the invasive species. I plan on making those senators answer some hard questiosn in the future. I will be sending you all membership request and requests for support. We'll be deposting all embeship fees with a CPA to put toward the formation of the non-profit. I hope it will be OK to post a link to your page. Our only issue will be free roaming feral and domestic cats. Keep up the good work-I'll need supporters on this issue. The local birders in Lake Jackson took a dislike to me because I wanted to know if the city council, mayor, and key city personel had free roaming cats. If you want to weigh in on the issue in the Lake Jackson newspaper,the web site for the Brazosport Facts, is the thefacts.com. We are bird central here-one of the highest number of bird species in any county in North America.

Yes, you're right, and it's pathetic their children will become a threat to our ecology, too.

I am normally against more government, but this is a war! Our wildlife officers should be given more enforcement power too.

Thank you, I know you've seen I've been posting it all over the internet. I will purchase a number of T-shirts and begin serious promotion from that angle very soon.
