Resolution N0. 177-05 was voted and adopted by the County Council on Oct 5, 2005. Its a resolution declaring October 16, 2005, as National Feral Cat Day in and for the County of Hawai'i.
Whereas, October 16 is National Feral Cat Day, a day dedicated to educating communities about Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), the only humane, effective, and cost-effective means of reducing stray and feral cat populations; and
Whereas, TNR stops the cycle of breeding, ends the killing of healthy animals, and reduces complaints about and cost associated with feral cats; and
Whereas, scientific evidence and experience in the United States and other countries demonstrates that non-lethal TNR, accompanied by ongoing feral cat colony management, is the only way to reduce feral cat populations in the long-term; and
Whereas, caring individuals and groups are effectively applying TNR to feral cat colonies all across the County of Hawai'i;
Be it therefore resolved, that the County of Hawai'i does hereby endorse non-lethal Trap-Neuter-Return, when accompanied by ongoing feral cat management, as the most effective, humane method of reducing feral cat population in the County of Hawai'i; and
Be it further resolved, that the County of Hawai'i does hereby proclaim October 16, 2005, to be National Feral Cat Day in and for the County of Hawai'i and encourage all citizens t support Trap-Neuter-Return for feral cats throughout the County of Hawai'i.
