TNR does work well but only if the county requires sterilization in all adoptions and all pets must be licensed. Only breaders are allowed to have non-sterilized pets via a breaders license.
Only then will TNR work. I've seen it many times in many location. In only about 1 to 2 generations the problem is gone.
However getting the state and public to do something that costs political capital, forget it. They are just going to send DLNR out with guns. And guess what, in 5 years the problem will be back.
Just going out and killing them is reactionary and a very short term solution.
There will be a public meeting about this tomorrow: Hilo State Building Conference Room, 75 Aupuni Street, Hilo, HI 96720 on July 27, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
