Some say TNR only perpetuates problems, I strongly disagree - I believe TNR does work, and in the long run is best for stray and feral cats as well as songbirds.

TNR works
As people continue to dump cats and rabbits in the great outdoors, they will see the populations grow. TNR changes the dynamics of the feral communities and with established feeding stations allows for a humane solution.
It's not the feral communties which are the problem... it's the humans who are abandoning their animals in urban and rural areas. Local shelter and cat sanctuaries are chockabloc full and bursting at the seams with domesticated cats. Those folks who dedicate their time and money to TNR have my greatest respect as the issue is overwhelming.
