The US Fish & Wildlife Service’s (FWS) dangerous draft environmental assessment weighs the lives of select species against others in the Florida Keysand would result in cats’ deaths.

Intended to protect local threatened and endangered wildlife species, the FWS plan misguidedly targets cats by misinterpreting and ignoring pertinent scientific research, disregarding Trap-Neuter- Return for feral cats as the approach that will protect the lives of all the Keys’ animals, and wholly failing to address the human threat to these species.

As animal advocates, we must defend the best interest of all animals equally. That means taking a hard look at what the major threats to species are and evaluating what we as humans can do to change the way our choices impact our environment. It also means protecting animalsall animalsfrom being killed.
