PoC avatarPosted on December 17, 2022 by Elisa Black-TaylorDecember 17, 2022

Trapping, spaying and neutering, and rehoming or releasing (TNR) stray cats is an act of kindness, not a crime. Right? Apparently not in Wetumpka, Alabama where Judge Jeff Courtney convicted two ‘cat ladies’ on Tuesday of several charges. Beverly Roberts, … continue reading…

Complex interplay between Australia’s feral cats, invasive rabbits and native mammals

PoC avatarPosted on August 21, 2022 by Michael BroadAugust 21, 2022

PoC avatarPosted on February 18, 2022 by Michael BroadFebruary 18, 2022
