Well this sucks...

I called a guy I had trapped for a while back, had 20+ cats he was feeding at his work...was wondering how it was going and was going to see if he needed help again if there were new ones that needed trapping and fixing...apparently the owner of the industrial complex went out and "caught" them all, in 2 nights with only two traps...most had already been fixed, so they wouldn't go into the traps again. So I said, he might have poisoned them, and he agreed with me. Asshole.

1. That is just terrible. The owner is an idiot. He will just end up with a huge rodent problem.

A new feral cat colony will just appear again without the benefit of having you having gotten them fixed. Yeah, the owner is giant jerk. So sorry to hear this. Most people are completely clueless about animal welfare issues and especially feral cats.

Thank you for doing what you do.

He's going to get more soon enough and these guys had been fixed so the colony was being controlled...there's a special place in hell for people like him.

The closest town to me had a small neighborhood that had a small feral cat problem. The local cat organization offered to do a TNR program that would end the problem. The biggest loudmouth wanted all the cats exterminated and the idiot city officials went along with it. Made me sick. They refused to listen to the experts who knew how to handle the situation. The idiots just have another cat colony to deal with. It is near the fairgrounds and I see even more cats there now after the colony was exterminated. Idiots and fools, most of them are Teabagger, racist nitwits. Explains a lot.

Ignorance and selfishness is all there is to it.

More cats come back and you have the same problem...you get one asshat who agrees to kill them all, but is it going to be a contiuous job, no, they'll kill them then ignore it again. Phuckers.
