The Fight Over Ferals

October 12, 2003

There are about 60 million alley cats, also known as feral cats, in this country. There are probably some living near you. They keep their distance, and don't want to live in your house. But you want them to have a good life, and maybe you put out food for them.

Many cities are now promoting the right kind of care for ferals. Others say catch them and kill them. And, surprisingly, some of the nation's largest humane organizations advocate killing them, too.

But killing is never the answer to anything.

October 16th is National Feral Cat Day. And this week's special feature is about The Fight Over Ferals.
