Another good thing: the group who organized opposition to the cat hunting plan, dontshoot the cat.com, is now organizing to work on the problem of feral cats. They along with the local "trap, neuter, and release" program are holding a big public meeting next weekend to begin work on the issue. Incidentally, the local TNR program usually places most of their ferals; although some are adopted to farm families where they will be continue outdoor cats.

Dear Best Friends Network Member,
A month after Gov. Jim Doyle said a plan to allow hunters to shoot stray cats was making
``There is no need to push it any further,'' Wisconsin Conservation Congress chairman Steve Oestreicher said of a proposed change to allow licensed hunters to shoot feral cats that kill songbirds and other wildlife. The proposal ignited a firestorm among animal rights groups that called it inhumane and dangerous - and raised the specter that hunters would shoot cats that had only wandered from their homes. Members of the Conservation Congress advise the state Natural Resources Board and the Department of Natural Resources, according to its Web site. Delegates at the group's convention in ``The governor has indicated he would never sign a bill,'' Oestreicher said. ``It's time to let it go.'' The Jessica Frohman, a spokeswoman for a Maryland-based group called Alley Cat Allies, hailed the decision. ``I think cat owners and pet owners are going to be just as happy,'' she said.

Thank you for being a part of the Network and for all that you do!
Sincerely,
