Well, I'll bite.
I agree with this proposal. I believe cats and dogs are domestic animals, and need to live a domestic lifestyle, with familes that care for them.
I don't think living wild, barely managing to keep from starving to death, getting hit by cars, killed by other cats/dogs, etc. is a life for any domestic animal.
I am also opposed to any non-native species being introduced into native ecosystems. There are literally hundreds of examples world-wide that show the destruction, havoc, death and destruction that can come from releasing non-native or domestic/feral animals.
I personally believe TNR is exactly what this proposal states it is, "well-meaning but misguided."

"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
