I would still love to see a kind of kitty "zoological park" type of environment/habitat for feral colonies. They could be securely fenced in so abusive humans couldn't get to them and they couldn't get out and end up hurt. They could be fed and get water at feeding "stations" and have warm barn-type areas where they go could in cold or inclement weather. Maybe there's grant funding out there for such things, or donations. Perhaps a kitty "petting zoo" for children???!

Yeah for Ronel and for Sheik Mansoor bin Zayed al Nahyan for helping these animals. We need more people like this. The world is overpopulating and there isn't enough worry about the animals that are being pushed out.

Good news on the managed feral colonies. I wish everyone would do this.

Good news on the China pic. These people need to start showing some outrage and also stop the use of using exotic animal parts.
