YES, I absolutely agree and this story turns my stomach to hear of this utterly inhumane cruelty on feral cats by a researcher associated with the Smithsonian. Makes me wonder if anyone else on her "team" was in on this with herOriginally Posted by elayman
"A National Zoo official says Dauphine is a research fellow at the national Zoo and continues to do research there. She has published research on migratory birds, and specifically, the affects of feral cats on birds and other wildlife that the cats feed on."
I'm not surprised she hasn't been relocated, unfortunately. Isn't the National Zoo part of one of the most respected scientific organizations in the country, the Smithsonian Institution ? And didn't they just sponsor "research" (just not in the scientific, peer-reviewed-publication sense) on cat predation "validating" her position ? If it takes someone of prestige acting out in cruel and illegal ways to discredit all that, at least something good will have come as a result.
Still so unutterably sad for the cats ! People like that are monsters. ...

Her first court date was today. Apparently all that happened was another court date of June 15 was set for a "status hearing."
Those sending letters directly to the zoo are getting standard responses that don't say anything.

I signed, and I was #991! Only nine more to go!
YAY
Great to hear
I couldn't have been more elated as I was when I found out about Nico being found guilty. Was a great day when I heard the news 
. I also hopes this sends out a warning to other "cat-hating bird lover's" who think about harming the feral cats

Guess I should have updated the thread! Nico's trial was on 10/24. It lasted three days. She was found guilty of attempted animal cruelty. It's all over the net, and the Washington Post and Science magazine both reported on it (among MANY others). The surveillance tape was released.
She resigned after the guilty verdict was made on Halloween.
