Becky Robinson, National Director of Alley Cat Allies, on the Wisconsin

sterilization for not only house cats , but also stray and feral cats. We believe

proposal and to develop measures based on sound science and responsible,
humane public policy.

populations .

Shooting is not euthanasia, it is a cruel act that includes slow,
painful death, which is precisely the issue that cruelty laws specifying
