Geez!!

How is a policy like THAT supposed to help anything?? I'm definitely going to respond to that. I still think TNR is the best way of controlling stray/feral populations. If it weren't for irresponsible people in the first place, we wouldn't have this problem...so instead of turning a blind eye...and killing the animals...they should be maintained. Come on everyone! Let's all write and tell them to revoke the policy!

They'll be hearing from me as well. It's always the same old story: people create the mess, the animals pay for it.

Wolflady,

You hit the nail right on the head! Cats wouldn't be feral if it weren't for irresponsible pet owners. The TNR program is the best considering the other options. It has been proven to work. And as my dad would say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!"

Having rescued MANY abandoned pets from military housing, I also believe that SOME people in the military should not be allowed to have pets.

Gio is right, people make the messes and the animals are the ones who pay the ultimate sacrifice.

Wolflady.........you said exactily what I wanted to say! There is nothing I can add. What are these people thinking?????

It is interesting that as the Navy promotes its Environmental program, they could be so short sighted in the "environmental" impact of this action. A co-worker of mine used to continually trap the feral kitties born to a queen that lived on the Naval Station here in San Diego. (He was unable to get the momcat.) He and his wife then found them homes, with the guarantee they would be neutered. I will look into the CNO's web site and send my protests, and also my EXTREME protest that anyone would be punished for TNR action on the base.

Give me a break - who do they think keeps the rat and mouse population under control - pest control?!?!? Oh, do cats do that?!?!
