Maui, in the past has tried the "eradication" option of euthanizing (killing) as many feral cats that the humane society and volunteers could catch - but it did not lower the population, infact increased it. The feline evolutionary instinct senses their numbers decreasing so their reproductive patterns become heightened in order to continue their own population success. So honestly, killing them off will only end up increasing their numbers. It sounds strange but has been scientifically proven in many areas of the U.S. and Europe where this same issue is happening. The most important, vital thing that we can do for the humans and the cats is to actively donate & volunteer to programs like 9th life, Feline Foundation and Maui Humane Society (feral feline sector) to help spay & neuter as many feral (and tame) cats as possible. These wonderful organizations will provide you with traps to borrow and help you get the cats spayed and neutered-for free. There seems to be more people that sit back and complain about this problem than actual participants helping to fix the problem. Please donate to 9th Life, Feline Foundation and the Humane Society and get educated and involved to HELP our situation! Everyone will benifit in the end. And if you have any animals - please FIX them! Mahalo
