ABC is at it again..

I think it would be wonderful to have a national database.

Also, on a random search of the internet I came across this group that has stats for their ferals...I thought it was pretty cool:

Also..I found the link to the forum questions that Nathan Winograd answered so there is no need to email me to get them..they are right on this page:

Tomorrow I head to Philadelphia to go to the No More Homeless Pets Conference. I can't believe I'm actually giddy about meeting people like Nathan Winograd and Robin Starr...sooo much I want to ask about and I even printed a map of Virginia so I could highlight some of the bigger issues. I will not have access to email until I return on Sunday and I'll probably be exhausted and checking work emails..but I will come back and post when I return.

I'm now the officialy feral statistics keeper for our rescue group (as of last week). I've also joined the KC area feral group so am anxious to see what they have collectively pulled together and where they are feeding that information to.

The NMHP president from my area is Dorothy Ring and will be there also. I haven't met her yet, but suspect I will eventually. Have fun in Philly!!

Katie - how was the conference?

Also - just wanted to let you (and anyone) know that we posted an article on www.straypetadvocacy.org professionally and scientifically tearing apart all the published articles and estimates of Coleman and Temple (the number ABC Birds uses so often).

Here's the link: http://www.straypetadvocacy.org/html...sin_study.html

Also, there's a review of Cat Predation Studies in general up on the site - it clearly states the overall problem: http://www.straypetadvocacy.org/html..._reviewed.html

Both articles are available in PDF format from the main cat predation page of the site.
