This program is flawed in two major ways. First of all, releasing cats into the wild does irreparable harm to wild life. The average outdoor cat kills an estimated 36 birds per year which equates to a total of 2 1/2 billion birds in North America. Outdoor cats also kill millions of small animals such as chipmunks, squirrels and reptiles. Releasing cats back into the wild is inhumane according to a study by the University of Florida on feral cats. How humane is it to release cats to be killed by coyotes or other predators or run over by cars? TNR(trap, neuter, release) does not reduce feral cat populations according to the same study.
