Save Quiet Waters Park cats from death
Dear Editor:
I am writing to you because I am trying to change Broward County’s ordinance on Feral cats in County Parks. The ordinance is to trap and send to Animal Care, where these cats will be euthanized.
I have a meeting with [County Commission] Vice Mayor Kristin Jacobs on Oct. 4 to change that ordinance, instead of trap and kill, to Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR).
The parks can never get rid of Ferals, because it’s called a Vacuum Effect. Once cats are removed from an area, a new colony of cats move in.
If TNR is in place, those Ferals keep the outside cats from coming in.
I would like the public to beware of this, for I am only one voice. I have done plenty of research and studies show that the county will save money and be saving lives in the long run.
