Congratulations on their intelligent decision to rid their lands of this highly destructive man-made invasive-species, but they will quickly find that trapping them just won't work. Trap & kill failed to curb cat populations just as much as trap & sterilize is an even bigger failure. Any trapping method used just cannot catch-up to cats' breeding rates. Especially a man-made invasive-species like these cats that can breed 2-4X's faster than any naturally occurring cat species. The ONLY action that man has ever done which can eradicate a species in the wild fast enough is "Hunted to Extinction" (or extirpation of all outdoor cats in this case). This is a hard cold fact. Using a mistake of human behavior in the past and employing it as a viable solution to clean up this man-made ecological disaster of today. Fighting fire with fire if you will. Shoot-on-sight is the ONLY method that is faster than these cats can out-breed and out-adapt to. The phrase known 'round the world never became "trapped to extinction" -- trapping is too slow to cause the now-needed results.

It worked on my land. May it work as fast and as inexpensively where you live as well. I, for one, know that NO cat will ever leave my property and ever become a problem for anyone or anything else in the world again. I only wish now that all others were as respectful and responsible of their planet and neighbor as I have learned to be. And contrary to cat-lovers' oft-spewed and relentless pack of lies, their "vacuum effect" is a bald-faced lie. I shot and buried hundreds of cats on my land over two years ago. NONE have replaced them in all this time. Simple reason being: CATS ATTRACT CATS. Get rid of every last one and there's none there to attract more of them. If you want more cats, allow even one of them to stay around, more will find you. Should even ONE cat ever step paw on my land ever again? Shoot-on-sight A.S.A.P. (and bury them to protect wildlife from cats' diseases even after they are dead). Because if I don't I'll be up to my a** in cats again, with them destroying all my wildlife and spreading their deadly diseases everywhere again -- back to square one. That's never going to happen, EVER AGAIN.

I tried to reason with cat-lovers for 15 YEARS, trying to be respectful and "nice" about it. Asking disrespectful and inconsiderate cat-lovers to stop their cats solved absolutely nothing. Getting nothing but failed promises piled on packs of lies. No amount of being "nice" is going to solve an ecological disaster of this magnitude. The time for being "nice" to cat-lovers is OVER, DONE, FINISHED. You don't ask your local career-thieves how to safeguard your valuables, just as you don't ask a delusional and psychotic invasive-species advocate how to protect your native wildlife. Learn from this. Don't make the same mistake I did by trying to reason with cat-lovers. Just do what needs to be done and there'll be nothing to argue about. Simple as that.
