@Lynn - I notice for a lot of people involved in Animal Welfare, there IS NO OTHER STRATEGY besides “More S/N! More S/N even if we have to force it! Nothing else is as important as more S/N!”

…it’s like the honestly can’t comprehend that there are other, effective ways of reducing shelter killing besides just sterilizing more and more animals… regardless of the fact that 80% of owned cats and around 75% of all owned pets in general ARE ALREADY S/N. Saturation-level sterilization is ALREADY HERE, it’s time to move on and start deiversifying their coping strategies…

Horrible disasters, like MSN, often sound good on paper to uninformed, ignorant politician-type folks.

It’s so politically popular, though… sounds great on paper as long as you don’t actually research the issue, politicians look like they’re doing something, and organizations like Ms. Coyne’s will need larger budgets allocated for enforcement - so of course they’re in favor!

Particularly absurd that it’s being proposed as a solution to a feral cat “problem” as per the R-J article. If owned cats are not the issue, applying a law to their owners to stop something non-feral cats are not involved in is… incredibly stupid. How do they plan on enforcing MSN laws on wild animals, other than obviously killing as many as they can get their hands on - which they’re already doing? How does a new help with that or solve anything?

Ms. Coyne’s agency needs to start an Office of TNR - and get THAT funded.

Why? Why don’t they know? Why don’t they learn?

MSN doesn’t work, that has been proven! More animals will die, more money will be spent. What’s wrong with us that we can’t see this and figure this out? Is it really as simple and ugly as they want to punish people?
