"Staff from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) are allegedly secretly demanding that local communities perform mass killings of feral cats, despite the fact that they have no official position on the issue of free roaming cats. The USFWS has no right to promote unsanctioned policy in local communities and must be stopped.
Many studies have been done that indicate the effectiveness of community cat programs that employ trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs to humanely reduce the population of feral cats over time. TNR involves setting humane traps in feral cat communities, spaying or neutering the cats and returning them to their communities. Fixing the animals not only reduces disease and aggressive behavior, it also prevents them from continuing to reproduce.
If USFWS officials were to create an official policy, they would legally be required to inform the public and provide the opportunity for public input, commentary and discussion. Demand that authorities call for an audit of the USFWS by the Government Accountability Office and force agency staff to immediately stop imposing unsanctioned policies in local communities."
