"They shoot horses, don't they..?"

"Council scratches cat resolution," a feature story recently posted in The Kauai Garden Island News talks about the county council not being able to make up their minds on what to do with the feral cat overpopulation problem with breeding out of control and shelving the issue for the time being. http://thegardenisland.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/article_677905e2-97f4-11e0-b89b-001cc4c002e0.html?mode=story

I agree with county attorney Al Castillo who said,"We can do trap and neuter, but to do TNR would be actively releasing a predator.”

If the county of Kaua'i is on probation for Shearwaters and other endangered sea-birds dive bombing into lights, we need to be careful, re-releasing feral cats, they are a danger to all birds and since Kaua'i county gets a fine of $10,000 for each dead shearwater sea-bird it's time to do what's pono, after-all "they shoot horses don't they?"
