And now a green argument for killing feral cats?

Leave it to Madison, WI to have a column on this absurdity:

Pets Across America, a national pet adoption organization, reports a 30 percent
increase in animal shelter intake of cats and kittens from 2005 to 2006.

"Cats are typically warm-weather, springtime breeders," says Kathy
Warnick, the organization's president. "States that typically experience
primarily longer and colder winters are now seeing shorter, warmer winters,
leading to year-round breeding. Basically, there is no longer a reproduction
lull with cat-breeding cycles and, unfortunately, it seems more people are
bringing boxes of kittens into our agencies during the winters now."

Who would have thought it? Is global warming really the cause of the excess cat population? Who knows.

Al Gore doesn't have to worry about global warming increasing the cat population here in Wisconsin, though. If the snow doesn't last long enough, at least we know residents here would rather kill the feral beasts.
