    This statement in the report threw me for a loop.

    "John Snyder is with the Humane Society of the United States. He doesn't have a problem with humanely euthanizing the cats, but he's concerned about who's catching the cats."

    The HSUS has no problem with that???? The answer to strays is spay/
    neuter not euthanizing them. It sounds like a strange thing for them to
    say.

    lizbud,

    You are way too kind. It should say spay/neuter not "KILL" them. It's just like "putting to sleep". You're not tucking the %$# cat to bed for the night. He will never wake up!! You are KILLING him!!! Hellllloooooo????????

    Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now.

    If the town chooses to humanely euthanize, the HSUS won't stand against it as its a humane method and a choice of the town. There's no legal reason for them to step in. Spaying and neutering feral cats doesn't solve the problem of existing feral cats. Not only that, but they may not have the funding for spaying and neutering all of the cats. So long as the cats are caught humanely and treated so until the end then they aren't doing anything wrong.
