I have personal experience with implementing TNR in a colony and have been in contact with others who have also done so. One colony was reduced from 200 cats down to 14 over a period of three years. This was done by three volunteers utilizing local low cost spay/neuter clinics. It can work, it does work. No, the entire valley can't be done all at once. The problem has taken years to develop. Cat by cat, volunteer by volunteer, it can be done.
Domestic cats are not an apex predator. They are a mid level preditor. They have preditory habits but the high birth rate of a prey animal. Since we have removed them from the environment where the population is controlled naturally we need to step in and take that roll. TNR is an effective tool to manage the cat population.

That's three cases in 15 years. More people are killed by dog attacks, bee stings, lightening, sharks, auto accidents, falling down stairs, food poisoning, the list goes on and on. Let's worry about something that is a real threat.
