The feral cat population has been a major problem for many U.S. cities in recent decades... However, euthanasia is not the answer.... You must implement humane and effective trap-neuter-release programs so that the feral cat population does not continue to grow... These types of control techniques do not harm feral cats when done correctly and are supported by the national advocacy organization, Alley Cat Allies as well as Dumpster Cats and A Buddy for Life.

I am urging you to stop the inhumane killing of feral cats as a means of population control... Since humane methods of controlling the population have proven effective, we must protect these abandoned creatures who need our help..Trap-Neuter-Return stabilizes feral cat populations,,. The cats are humanely trapped, vaccinated, and neutered, so no more kittens will be born... They are then returned to their original location to live out their lives in their outdoor home... Not only is Trap-Neuter-Return the humane option for feral cats, it also improves cats’ lives by relieving them of the stresses of mating and pregnancy... In the end, unlike catch and kill, TNR works..

Sincerely,
