How can anyone propose returning an invasive predator to the wild as a viable option? You have to remember for every cat you return to the streets you are dooming numerous birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles to death. Why are their lives worth less than those of an exotic predator? Because they're not as cute?

And if humans would start gettting us spayed and neutered that would help tons more! Plus, keep your babies instead of throwing them away. I may not like my brother all the time but I would rather he be here bugging me than out there on his own, like he was before Meowm brought him home. Well, TNR certainly helps!
