I've realized that a really important part of advocating is getting the facts out there. I found a great website, http://fanciers.com/npa/owned-cats.html, which compares stats of house cats and stray cats. These facts prove just how much we need to take care of these animals. Due to their living conditions, feral cats have only a 3 year life span, which usually ends tragically, compared to a house cat's 7 years. Spaying/neutering is something that must be practiced with these animals because they are taking up over half of animal shelter space and 80% are euthanized compared to dogs being 20%.
I encourage you to sign the following petition that shows even the Humane Society's efforts aren't strong enough at the moment because the cats are still being brutally killed.
