From todays Garden Isle: PETA: Trap, neuter, release not the answer PETA is concerned about both feral cats and the animals they hurt and kill (“Tell the world of feral cats,” 7-22-14). Cats left outside to fend for themselves routinely incur ghastly injuries and infections, contract deadly contagious diseases, are poisoned and shot by cruel people, and are hit by cars, attacked by wildlife, and worse. Even easily treatable conditions like urinary tract infections and flea infestations can become deadly for cats who cannot be handled. Feral cats (who are not native and do not fit into the predator-prey ecosystem) also maim and kill countless local birds and other small animals who aren’t equipped to deal with the large concentration of predators that comes with a feral cat colony. The agony these animals endure is not inconsequential. Trapping, neutering, and releasing feral cats is not humane for cats or wildlife. The only humane solution is to crack down on people who abandon cats and to require that all cat guardians have their feline companions spayed and neutered and kept indoors.
