Feral Cat Colony

Feral cats,  according to a peer reviewed article published by the University of Nebraska at Lincoln , cost  US taxpayers  $17 Million dollars annually when considering how much bird watchers, hunters and others spend on their hobbies.

The report cites the bad science behind many popular neuter and release programs across the country today. The killing of cats is recommended as the best way to protect our nation’s native wild animals and birds. Cat lover’s and critics claim wild cats help control rodent populations, and say habitat destruction, herbicides and other issues are a bigger threat to birds yet, hard science proves otherwise.
