Our tax dollars support the government's slaughter of thousands, if not millions, of creatures every year.

Thank-you for this comment We that feed feral cats are blessed each time we see a feral cat eat. Although I am poor and really can't afford it I have been doing it for years, it makes my heart glad, but now I am told I can no longer do this, and I just found out it is unlawful to do in my city, I can't find a no kill shelter for these cats or help. I will not turn my back and let them starve, the place were I feed these cats is near my work and every time I go to work I am forced to see their hunger, I started a petition on change.org but I can't seem to get the word out,I have 10 supporters but nee much more could you please help and sign? It is titled Help for feral and stay cats in Clovis at change.org

I agree with these comments. Feral cats are doing what cats do -- killing to survive. Feral cats are, because cats were domesticated, a HUMan problem and we cannot just ignore it and think it will go away on its own. The proper response to ferals is to feed them and NEUTER AND SPAY THEM. I also had the experience of caring for ferals in my neighborhood that despicable people in the apartments next door abandoned, and I spayed and neutered everybody I could catch. After two years there were NO MORE NEW KITTENS. If I had ignored them, there would be three times the ferals there that now exist. It's ridiculous for people to just not feed them, what do you expecty them to do -- slowly starve to death? That law in Clovis is a travesty -- it makes my blood boil. I will go sign your petition and do whatever else it takes. You should get testimonials from people like me who did the right thing and REDUCED THE FERAL CAT POPULATION through responsible action. Get people together and appeal that stupid law with FACTS, NOT EMOTION -- you can find plenty of support that responsible feral cat management works and IGNORING THE ISSUE WON'T MAKE IT BETTER -- if I lived in your town we'd make this happen, I can assure you. I am not afraid of speaking up at city council meetings, I have done it before trying to help chained dogs and found that you cannot do anything alone, you must have a large group in order to be effective.
