We think those people have their heads in the sand and just want to keep euthanizing the "surplus" of cats in their community rather than dealing with them humanely. The more the epic reality of community cats is exposed , the better compassionate solutions can be found for them.

If I am able to live-trap them I take them to a no-kill shelter, as I can't afford to take care of them all. I feel sorry for the ones that get away & somehow grow up without becoming coyote or other critters dinner, and the winters we have are brutal. I have a large garage some get into for shelter, but I do not appreciate them hunting on the wild bird population. Everyone needs to care, but I would like it is pets are kept indoors for their own safety.<br />Faythe @ <a href="http://grammymousetails.blogspot.com/2015/03/st-patricks-day-funnies.html" rel="nofollow">GrammyMouseTails</a>Faythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16034410853774096838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-64414327673055342952015-03-12T14:05:23.328-04:002015-03-12T14:05:23.328-04:00We have a TNR program in our area, too...I once sa...We have a TNR program in our area, too...I once saw a volunteer trap a few kitties to take to the clinic.

I have no understanding (and I have zero tolerance for), humans who would literally just dump (because to me, regardless of what caused the situation), putting a cat out on the streets is "dumping" a cat. Trust me, I understand hard times, but I would never just dump my pets into the street because I couldn't care for them.

Most shelters are already doing most of the things in our proposed legislation but still refuse to support it. HB876 would protect eartipped cats, the heart and soul of any outdoor cat management program...if they are impounded into an animal shelter, they would be returned where found, or adopted out if they are friendly. They would not be killed in the shelter as most "unmanaged" stray/feral cats are. <br /><br />HSUS has so far refused to help us pass this bill against well-healed opposition. It makes me wonder just how committed they are to the community cat issue. I am very disappointed in HSUS' lack of public support for HB876 in Maryland.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062592989601136303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-55369920340483581442015-03-12T06:26:23.186-04:002015-03-12T06:26:23.186-04:00TNR has done wonders where I live….
