7. Awful!

Fri Mar 15, 2013, 03:30 PM

Mar 2013

My cat was originally an abandoned stray. I started feeding her, and she has become the sweetest cat I've ever had. Sure, she ate birds before, but that was because she was starving to death. I doubt she would have made it through the winter had I not started to care for her.

This tactic would have deprived me of a beautiful, loving pet (who stays indoors now far more often than not and is too lazy to hunt anymore).

And what about people whose pets accidentally get out and are poisoned? Some people will use ANY excuse to be cruel, and this just adds fuel to the flames by making them think they are doing the right thing.

What a horrible, horrible suggestion from an apparently heartless and empty-headed individual.

EDIT: I signed the petition and gave them a piece of my mind alright, and not just the form letter. This is absolutely sickening. Fuck the Audobon Institute if they keep this idiotic, cruel lunatic in any way associated with them.

So Williams is wrong -- granted. But what is the solution to feral cats pnwmom Mar 2013 #17

generally it's capturing and spaying or neutering eShirl Mar 2013 #19

But the problem with that is that one male un-neutered cat can still produce pnwmom Mar 2013 #20

Feral tom cats keep the kitten population down. They should not be neutered. FarCenter Mar 2013 #23

Except there are feral tom cats and they're not keeping the population down. n/t pnwmom Mar 2013 #24
