P.S. Maybe we just need a pond with "naturally occurring nitrates", nearby, which will conveniently take care of the problem - for free! If you don't know what I'm referring to, then check out what happened to the wild horses up north.

First of all, I'm not from California and yes I saw a coyote just last winter in my NW LV neighborhood. Feral cats are wild & breed at will & carry disease which spreads to other cats so therefore they need to be put down, as they shouldn't have been allowed to run loose & breed initially. Just have a look at all the domestic cats that have been locked up at the Lied Animal Shelter (aka the animal foundation). I've visited that place after my cat got out & my neighbor called animal control who took my cat and NOBODY called me - even though he had I.D. tags. It's a sad, sad, place. If there aren't enough people to take care of domestic cats, what makes you think there are enough people to "manage" feral cats? What a crock!

Hey, I lived in the mountains too, and we never had a feral cat problem - the coyotes took care of that! If sterilization were more affordable, perhaps more pet owners would spay/neuter their pets. Oh, wait, I forget, this is Las Vegas where it seems nobody cares about responsibility....

I called my vet today & it costs at least $200 to neuter a small dog! It's nice to know the shelter is going to offer a low-cost clinic for this - especially since they are euthanizing (at taxpayer's expense, I assume) on average over 52 cats per day, why save the feral cats? Put them down!

Wish we had more law enforcement patrolling on a regular basis - this town needs to reign it in on those who blatently disobey traffic laws!

The wife should not have come to the scene of her husband getting a ticket. When my husband gets a ticket, I certainly don't run to his rescue. What happened was a poor sequence of events, including communication breakdown of people from another culture. Not that I advocate what transpired, but I really believe things happen for a reason. Everyone involved in this tragedy was affected and everyone will remember it. It was not murder, it had nothing to do with the war in Iraq, etc. It is what it is...a tragedy for all.
