The bill legitimizing release of domestic cats into the wild and authorizing public funds to fund feral cat colonies is apparently coming up today in the NYS Senate. Many wild bird groups and supporters such as American Bird Conservancy are urging the public to contact their state senators and urge them to vote "No" on S. 1081. Here are some contacts for those interested in making such calls. Obviously you can also call your own state senator. Senate Majority Leader, John Flanagan: (518) 455-2071 Deputy Majority Leader John Bonacic: (518) 455-3181 Chairman of Senate Finance John De Francisco: (518) 455-3511 Secretary of the Senate Majority Conference Martin Golden: (518) 455-2730 Assistant Majority Leader Kemp Hannon: (518) 455-2200 Thanks, Tim Dunn Babylon NY Sent from my iPhone
