I am a former NJ resident and part of a TNR program in the city I lived in and had a small colony that I took care of. I was a NJ resident when this bill first came around. I supported it then as I do now. Community cats need help! And also the advocates for them.
TNR works! I did it years ago in my neighborhood at my own cost. Keeping animals from being born in the wild is a lot easier than trying to keep them fed and healthy.
As a former long time resident of NJ I see the extreme need for low cost spay/neuter. It is so expensive to care for a family/pet. Help with spay/neuter would reduce the animal over population.
