Trap-Neuter-Return is well-intentioned, but causes disastrous results and plenty of animal suffering, especially for the birds, lizards, native small mammals and amphibians that invasive, predatory feral cats kill. TNR also causes massive suffering for the cats themselves, who often go years with out veterinary care and end up covered in fleas, ticks, and harboring parasites like toxoplasmosis that end up washing into the ocean in coastal areas and infecting marine mammals, for whom it is often fatal. TNR's SOLE PURPOSE is to normalize cat colonies and the presence of feral cats, and to prevent their removal. It is a strategy to placate local civic leaders whose constituents are upset that feral cats are over-running an area - "at least they're sterilized". Worse, TNR is ALWAYS accompanied by feeding : daily dumping of kibble for the cats in a "colony", which means ample food for new kittens from the 75% of the population (on average) that TNR activists are unable to trap and sterilize. This is why - if you allow TNR in your area - you will ALWAYS have feral cats there, for decades to come.

The rabidness with which TNR advocates usually defend their cat-obsession and how they force it off on the public has provoked this shirt, which seems a fitting response to those who call themselves "animal-lovers" but in reality only seem to prioritize cats while disregarding the well-being of the surrounding ecosystem.
