And they basically said that the TNR program is the only humane evidence based effective method to control outdoor cat populations.

Yeah, exactly.

And if you take a feral cat, you know, one that just does not do well with others, with people, and you bring it to the shelter, the shelter is going to spend time and money, resources to try and rehabilitate this cat, and the cat is never going to be fully happy.

But even the ones that would make good...

pets the argument is is it's better as a whole to return them to their little cat colony and the issue is is if you it's like all those 80s cop shows or even current cop shows where the leader of a gang gets arrested and now there's a power vacuum if you take away a bunch of these cats from these colonies and find them homes and maybe they're very happy at home but they were happy outside as well

Other cats from neighboring gangs, the sharks and the jets are going to start taking over.

They're going to do raids and gang wars, and they're going to fill that vacuum.

So you're not actually controlling the population at all.

You're just moving them into the home, and then a bunch of them show up.

Yeah, FIV, feline leukemia, rabies, though cats are very sort of low rabies risk, but not impossible, parasites.

So...

Most people that when they have training and most veterinarians agree that the best thing is to bring them in, spay and neuter them, spay or neuter them, clip that ear.

And we do that so that we can see them from a distance and not keep catching the same cat over and over again, looking for his testicles and then trying to neuter him and go, oh, my goodness, what's going on?

And then we vaccinate them and we deworm them and we treat any sort of minor issues.

And then we return them outside.

Homeless animals are unhappy and a lot of them aren't.

They are community animals.

They are street dogs in India.

And again, these community cat colonies in Canada, they are happy being outside.

They just don't.
