Stray and Feral Cats In Japan.

I just wanted to share this article that one of my students sent me.

It's very sad to hear about all the abandoned pets, but I'm glad that some people are trying to do something about it.

Thank you for sharing this article Norachan.  How terribly sad.  I hope their efforts will pay off.  I can't imagine it being common practice to not spay/neuter and then drown the offspring.  Yet without the resources available what are the people to do. I hope their efforts will work and things will begin to change.

It is very sad, isn't it? Nice to think that things are starting to change.

I was interested in the part that said if 70% of the feral cat population were spayed or neutered then the area they were in would be able to support the number of cats. But only for a few years, surely? 

I've been trying to get 100% of the cats I feed TNRed and I'm starting to panic because it's already late January and there are still two unfixed female cats. They've resisted all my attempts to trap them so far, I think they've worked out what I'm up to.
