Today we are calling for the immediate dismissal of Ted Williams, editor-at-large for Audubon magazine, in response to his op-ed in the March 14 Orlando Sentinel recommending that feral cats should be poisoned with Tylenol.
In the op-ed, Williams writes, “There are… effective, humane alternatives to the cat hell of TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return). One is Tylenol (the human pain medication)a completely selective feral cat poison.”
Killing a cat is a criminal offense in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Ted Williams used a major media platform to call for cats to be illegally and torturously killed.
Williams and others calling for the mass killing of cats have moved beyond distorting science and statistics.
The extremist policy promoted by Audubon Society representatives like Williams would only result in the mass killing of tens of millions of cats every year.
