14. Someone recently posted an article
about a trapping program at a university that had virtually reduced the number of ferals to zero. Havaheart traps were used to capture and adopt out younger animals, and to neuter and release older ones. Eventually, no new kittens were born. The pro kill group will no doubt say the program was too expensive or say that it's simply "impossible", but it worked. The fact is, these people simply think it would be fun to kill cats, and ANY humane solution will automatically be rejected.

Lot of fun it's going to be with cities and farms being overrun with rodents if the pro death crowd gets it's way. Reminds me of when a Texas pest control corporation convinced one city that bats would cause disease epidemics. The city hired the company to kill millions of bats, THEN had to hire the same pest control company to kill BILLIONS of mosquitoes and other insects that swiftly took on Biblical plague proportions due to the bat's absence. The pest control industry did very well for itself before the city finally acknowledged that it had been duped.
