The number of invasive predators is increasing worldwide. Cats and pythons are but two examples. These animals must be REMOVED from the environment to protect native animals. Removal is the ONLY method that stops this unnecessary predation.  We urge the USFWS to take a strong stand against the perpetuation of non-native invasive wildlife.  TNR is NOT humane to the vast numbers of wildlife killed by feral cats.

Dear Director Ashe,

Please do not shrink back from your mission to conserve and protect native birds and wildlife.
The populations of invasive predators are increasing worldwide. Cats and pythons are but two examples. These animals must be REMOVED from the environment to protect native animals. Removal is the ONLY method that stops this unnecessary predation. We urge the USFWS to take a strong stand against the perpetuation of non-native invasive wildlife. TNR is NOT humane to the vast numbers of wildlife killed by feral cats, and does not reduce the overall population of feral cats. Citizens should be encouraged to keep their cats indoors and municipalities should NOT accept TNR as a solution to cat population increase. Removal is the ONLY solution that reduces predation on native wildlife.
