Invasive species are a problem - they crowd out native species and alter the dynamics of the ecosystem, sometimes even leading to the extinction of native flora & fauna.
When it is a plant, or a little, non-cute animal, like carp, lamprey, zebra mussels,kudzu, etc., there's no problem. KILL THE THING! WIPE IT FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH!
But what if it is a beloved pet species, like kitties?
Washington, D.C. Has been dealing with its feral cat population through a policy of "capture, cure, neuter, release," the idea being that the cat population can be kept in check this way.
They are now switching to a controversial policy of "capture, kill" to reduce the population.
What do you think? "Capture, cure, neuter, release," OR "capture, kill"? Maybe there is another option?
And... Why do you feel that way?
P.S. The little calico pictured at the bottom of the article looks just like beloved family pet Ittybittykitty.
