As the guardian of four adopted shelter cats, TNR Programs DO WORK if allowed time to work. I guess some people would prefer using glue traps, poisonous food that kills native animals as well, or inhumane culling hunts. If feral colonies are provided food daily, the majority of ferals would not kill for fun (as Mr. Woodward prefers). Removing ferals and stray or abandoned cats will cause an increase in disease spreading rats, mice, etc.

Never are enough neutered/spay in any city wide program. Even if there were the cats stay around for 10 years killing off far more needed native animals. Then all the food left out creates huge populations of other pests, rats, mice, cockroaches rabies reservoir racoons and skunks. The filthy feeding stations harbor ever more diseases and parasites. TNR literature states they only hope to stabilize cat populations. They use the excuse that more cats will appear if all are removed. That’s a lie based on an environment’s carrying capacity or wild native animals fighting over limited food. Cats are an alien invasive species given all the food they can eat. Cats readily join by being dumped by TNR cat hoarders or join for the food.
