Barbara from Words, Words, Words has drawn attention to the plight of feral cats in Ireland. Trapping and neutering feral cats is the only way to reduce the numbers of unwanted kittens and stop the mindless cruelty they suffer.
Please read Barbara’s blog, visit the petition site and find out more.
Thank you Janice, I will check out Barbara's link immediately.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a good service for the cats by telling everyone about the petition. Since I live here in Canada I probably can't sign it, but I'll see.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this, and for signing the petition :O)
ReplyDeleteThat's too sad. We have a lot of feral cats here in Hawaii too. They must survive on hand-outs or perhaps the mice?
ReplyDeleteI really hope the petition succeeds and funds are granted for this program.
ReplyDeleteTrap/neuter/return works, it is the most humane way to control feral cat populations. I volunteer my time to this program in our community.
I fully agree with you. We have in Brussels vet students who catch feral cats, neutre them and then set them free again. They go with a special van through the city where the ferals are. I think that's a very good idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janice... headed over!
ReplyDeleteI'll head over to see...thanks for the lead...
ReplyDeleteHugs~
In a nation of 'pet lovers' such cruelty is sadly too commonplace. I hate the way people simply abandon animals and leave them to a dreadful fate. As you say, neutering is the only way out.
ReplyDeleteI worked with a program like the one you describe both in NYC and then here in NJ
ReplyDeleteit works
thank you for caring and spreading the word :)
Yes-thanks for the email about this Janice. I did go and sign it but neglected to reply to you!
