100% agree that euthanasia is the effective way to deal with the problem.

But, someone in this thread made the very strong point that people will trap and collect cats for free if you're going to neuter and release them.

Granted TNR hasn't worked at all, but at least it's possible to stay elected while the program exists.

I imagine TNR also provides convenient subjects for veterinary interns learning surgery.
