Well Mark, unfortunately there is no statistics for feral cat colonies broken down to specific geographical areas.
The statistics are nation wide and/or broken down into, as HOTPE says, possibilities versus probabilities.
What we do know is an unchecked feral cat population will cause catastrophic environmental damage. Further, every institution here on the Big Island charged with regulating environmental impacts as well as wildlife conservation and protection all say feeding feral cat colonies is bad. For the cat as well as all other species, including humans.
And yet we have people, regardless of what facts and statistics show to the contrary, continue to do what THEY think is right. To the detriment of all.
But then again, the real statistics should be the measurement of human stupidity, as that’s really the core problem.
