‘Dear Bird Advocate,

You think there is a CONSPIRACY of cat enablers out there? You must look for UFOs at night, too.’

No, I don’t search for UFOs, though I have heard some eye-witness accounts. Tell me realistically the cat organizations don’t work like a conspiracy. They manufacture and disseminate disinformation, otherwise known as myths, and have common goals.

“Have you spent quality time with a cat? Obviously not.”

You assume far too much. I tamed the last feral cat that intruded into my house and found indoor homes for her and her kittens.

An article by a fledgling TNR advocate caught my interest recently when she remarked she’d had to maneuver to avoid a dozen or so cats lounging around a parking lot while attending a meeting.
She investigated and found there were piles of food and water around the area from people who fed them but none of the pets had been spayed and neutered. This inspired her to initiate a TNR project.
While better than doing nothing I wonder if she ever considers how other visitors to the area view having to avoid the newly spayed-neutered cats again lounging around the parking lot or their excrement? Nowhere in the article was the impact of the feral pets on the fauna of the area mentioned, of course.

I have been predicting for several years the feral pet population outdoors would reach a saturation point so overwhelming the vast majority of voters would begin demanding they be controlled by all expedient means available.
Expedient means, of course, would exclude the “compassionate, humane, and non-lethal” practice of TNR which only removes a tiny fraction of those pet species for an overnight stay at the Vets then re-abandons them for the rest of their claimed seven year life span.
Most of our city and county governments have been influenced by a conspiracy of cat enablers to ignore our wildlife protection laws for the last twenty years or so, so this could be interesting.
