The most important point:
It‘s Time to Stop the Killing
Out of the 70 million stray cats that populate our streets, on average, only 6 to 8 million ever make it into the shelter system, and the majority of those that do rarely make it out alive.
Putsche says, “Nationally, over 70 percent of all cats that enter shelters are killed there — on top of that, feral cats are not socialized, so they can’t be adopted.”
Cats have been living outside on their own for 10,000 years, so why does that have to change now? Despite what critics say, with TNR programs and colony care, we can happily co-exist with the cat colonies that inhabit our neighborhoods.
We need to stop pointing the finger at feral cats, and instead take a hard look at our own actions and what we can do to change the way we impact the world and the animals with whom we share it.
