RESOLUTION OF THE BOROUGH OF MERCHANTVILLE,
JOINT RESOLUTION WITH THE STATE OF
NEW
TRAP-NEUTER-RELEASE AND FREE RANGING DOMESTIC CATS
WHEREAS,
Free-ranging domestic cats are a non-native, invasive predator species; and
WHEREAS,
free-ranging domestic cats annually kill millions of native birds, small
mammals, reptiles and amphibians; and
WHEREAS,
free-ranging domestic cats are a threat to the survival of endangered and
threatened species, those that are considered rare, those designated as
being of special concern, and other native wildlife; and
WHEREAS,
free-ranging domestic cats kill many of the species that serve as prey for a
variety of native wildlife, including raptors, which, by depriving these
native species of valuable food unnecessarily compounds the difficulty of
there survival, and places unnecessary stress on the larger ecosystem; and
WHEREAS,
supplemental feeding and the trap-neuter-release of domestic cats does not
significantly reduce the negative impacts on natural resources as even
well-fed cats skill kill native wildlife.;
and
WHEREAS,
domestic cat colonies are sometimes established in areas that are considered
to be of little wildlife value but, in fact, these areas provide temporary,
essential resting and foraging areas for migrant species, especially birds;
and
WHEREAS,
any time large number of animals congregate in one area, as in domestic cat
colonies, there is an increased risk for the spread of diseases, including
feline leukemia, toxoplasmosis, and rabies, among others; and
WHEREAS,
food provided for free-ranging cats also attracts skunks, raccoons, black
bears and other species that are capable of contracting and/or spreading
rabies through interactions with vector species; and
WHEREAS,
these diseases no only endanger native wildlife, but rabies, toxoplasmosis
and other diseases also pose significant health risks to people; and
WHEREAS,
the National Association of State Health Veterinarians has stated that there
is no evidence that colony management programs will reduce diseases; and
WHEREAS,
N.J.S.A. 23:2A-14 makes it illegal to intentionally leave out food that can
be accessed by or attract bears;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,
that the New Jersey Fish and Game Council and the New Jersey Endangered and
Nongame Species Advisory Committee do not support non-native, invasive
domestic cats being allowed to roam freely anywhere in New Jersey.
