The US Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) is again proposing the killing of outdoor cats in the Florida Keys. Meant to protect local threatened and endangered species, the proposed management plan is a death sentence for outdoor cats in the Keys and, if passed, it would set a dangerous precedent.
The plan is wrong for many reasons:
As animal advocates, we want a plan that addresses the best interest of all animals, including endangered species. That means taking a hard look at what the major threats to species are, and protecting ALL animals from being killed.
