Posted on: She’d ‘legalize’ feral cats to save them

Feral cats have been, and will always exist. They are on all continents, urbal and rural. The protocols of controlling and decreasing feral cat populations of Trap, Neuter and Return (TNR) have been proven in many communities in this country. Feral cats are descendents of domestic cats that were allowed outside to live and fend on their own. Humanely trapping, sterilizing and vaccinating them, and returning to an organized colony with colony caretakers, is the only responsibe, moral way to manage and decrease their populations. National data exist that demonstrate they do not carry or promote disease, nor any of the other negative things those that are un-informed claim. There has been, and will always be, a balance in nature with birds, cats, and all living things. Get educated people, the facts are there. I applaud those that recognize it is time for Las Vegas to do the responsible thing of funding, and organizing these efforts.
