The Welfare Of Feral Cats	2007		.txt	text/plain	12189	589	55	The interest in feral cats may focus on animal control, especially in countries where the free-roaming dog problem no longer is a major concern, or on issues such as predation, public health or the well-being of the cats themselves. Several small studies using secondary poisoning of predators with agent 1080 (sodium monofluoroacetate) or brodifacoum (a second-generation anticoagulant) via poisoned prey species suggest that this may be a more effective method to kill all predators present, including feral cats, stoats and ferrets Gillies & Pierce 1999; Alterio 2002) . Thus, TNR together with adoption and monitoring programs are the most effective and humane options for the long-term control of feral cat colonies. Several large programs in the northeast and west have become increasingly high profile in animal welfare and animal protection conferences and web sites, indicating a growing awareness, if not always acceptance, of TNR as a humane method for the control of feral cats.	./cache/cord-017997-obvk2d8e.txt	./txt/cord-017997-obvk2d8e.txt
