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. ...
