Yaco, called crazy when she imagines unnecessary killings and sends out a mass email falsely accusing a school of exterminating its cat population. TNR sounds great, but again, I think the original overpopulation problem was largely imagined. Well, L.

Yaco Tue, 03 Feb 2009 19:36:27 +0000 http://blog.georgetownvoice.com/?p=1660#comment-263530 What a shame when someone complains about the unnecessary killing of an animal that she is called crazy. It's very common to have a cat overpopulation on college campuses because students adopt cats and when they graduate, they leave the cat behind. Stanford University is an example of an extremely successful TNR program. The only scientifically proven and humane solution to a cat overpopulation is Trap them, neuter and spay them and they're health checked, then return them to where they were trapped and take care of them. It's called TNR and it works. There is a reduction in the kittens born and so no more population increase is seen. Then over time, and through attrition the population is slowly reduced and eventually there will be no more cats. The other great part of TNR is that there are people there monitoring the cats and they will catch any new cats that arrive. If you want more information on TNR, please visit Alley Cat Allies at alleycatorg. Thanks. What a shame when someone complains about the unnecessary killing of an animal that she is called crazy.

Not only do we have to deal with rabid teetotalers and newspaper kleptomaniac paranoids, now we have a Crazy Cat Lady?
