I've been perusing the posts eminating out of St. Paul, MN and that very word came to mind, that and the word 'insane'. You should seek some help for your ailurophobia and stop wasting your time posting your demented spiel on this forum and also stop judging your own posts with high marks while judging all those posts that don't agree with yours with disparaging marks. Yeah, you sick deranged SOB, we are on to you. Go away.
This must be just like all those deeply disturbed serial-killers in the making that are eradicating all those other invasive-species that are destroying every habitat they are found in. Like Kudzu, Purple-Loosestrife, Gypsy Moths, Emerald Ash-Borers, African Cichlids, Burmese Pythons, Brown Tree Snakes, and Eurasian Watermilfoil. Removing them from their lands and lakes by DESTROYING THEM ON-SITE. And many of those invasive-species are caused from escaped but dearly-loved pets and their habitats! Oh my!

Or how about all those sickos that run animal-shelters, they're nothing but a bunch of child-murdering pedophiles because they have to euthanize animals every day. And every farmer and rancher that has to humanely put down an animal with a gun must be molesting and murdering everything in their county. Those damned sickos! And what about all those people in stockyards murdering all those cattle for your McBurgers every day? I bet they're a hide-out for all the serial-killers that nobody can find! And all those hunters that provide food for their family by hunting, I bet they're the worst of all!

I bet you're onto something!

Like your needing serious psychological help.

Are you starting to wake-up from your psychotic delusions yet? Just a little bit? Probably not. Your kind love nothing better than to wallow in an immense bliss borne of self-inflicted ignorance all your sorry life. Forever insulating and isolating yourself away from your own reality -- making yourself psychotic.

By the way: If you advocate for cats as rodent-control on farms and ranches, you've already doomed them to being destroyed by drowning or shooting when it becomes a financial liability more than any asset. Ranchers and farmers are fully aware that cats' Toxoplasma gondii parasite can cause the very same birth defects, still-births, and miscarriages in their livestock as it can in pregnant women. This is why any cats are routinely destroyed around gestating livestock. Common rural practice everywhere. The risk of financial loss is too great to do otherwise.

The next time you bite into that whole-grain veggie-muffin or McBurger, you need to just envision biting down on a shot-dead or drowned kitten or cat. For that's exactly how that food supply got to your mouth -- whether you want to face up to it or not. It's not going to change reality no matter how much you twist your mind away from the truth of your world.

OOOPS! Slight problem.
(Data taken from TNR groups' OWN resources.)
Estimated Cat Population of Lincoln County, New Mexico
Estimated Number of Cats 37,540
Estimated Number of Free-Roaming Cats 20,650
Estimated Costs Associated With Alteration and Return Per Cat
Trap/Fieldwork $60
Neuter/Spay $40
Physical Exams $50
Vaccinations $40
Estimated Cost of TNR in Lincoln, New Mexico Per Cat $180
Let's do a little population-growth calculation on those feral-cats. Shall we? Applying a little recursive calculus, in a 2 year period of 20,650 feral-cats reproducing exponentially with a 90% survival rate, we end up with 4,349,107 cats. That means that 2,000 cats trapped is only 0.046% of the amount of cats that you'll have at the end of two years.
Well, there goes another $127,600 COMPLETELY shot to hell and accomplishing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING with it.
You people are SO smart.
LOL!
But lets take the far lower estimate of 3,666 cats that you only think exist there. This means after two years you'll have 772,096 feral cats born from present presumed population numbers. OOOPS! 2,000 is still only 2.7% of existing cat numbers. Then in 3 years you'll have about 1,741,742 feral cats breeding from those that you can't trap. So you'll have trapped a whopping 0.1% of cats. And so they breed faster than can be trapped, and so you throw even more money at useless TNR methods, also increasing in cost just as exponentially fast as cats breed.
Yeah, you keep doing what you're doing. And if you click your heels 3 times and say "I believe, I believe, I believe", your cat problem might go away by using TNR methods some day.
In your dreams!
LOL!!!!!
.. and you are dumb enough to believe that some moron got out and 'actually 'counted' every cat in lincoln county? don't you people have anything else beter to do?.....just sayin..........

Just what do you mean by "with what they have to work with"? Have you seen their financial statements? Go to guidestar.org and look up their 990 tax returns or better yet, ask them for a current balance statement (I doubt you'll get one). They have tons of money but keep asking for more. With such a warchest they are now looking at purchasing a property in Ruidoso of several acres. That property will not meet their needs and then they will be asking for money to build a new shelter. They already have a shelter and if spay and neutering is so great, why not invest that money into such a program to reduce the number of animals produced by breeding? Maybe because a new facility will give them a legacy, which is more important to their egos.

They have hard thankless job,I respect them for doing it.I respect the volunters who help walk the dogs.I don`t know about their money .I am against dog breading for profit because of the bad players.We love our dog (he thinks he is a person)How would you like to go to work everyday and deal with grieving children who`s dog died ,people who move out and leave the dogs behind, injured and sick dogs ect.And then be told you are no good.That is what I meant.I am also tired of reading on this format that everyone is no good.It gets old after a while.

From what I saw, the facility is in dire need of finding a new home. Maybe that's what the money is being saved for. It's a rotting and crumbling structure which makes it tremendously difficult to maintain.

Check out the last agenda packet from the County Commission. The Humane Society was asking for $30,000 plus $2,000 in shelter repairs. They list their annual expenses at about 415K and income at about 550K. That means they have a $135,000 "profit" for the year. Like reality said, look at their tax return and how much they have in the bank. Then ask yourself with all of this money, why aren't they taking care of the repairs that are so badly needed. How big of a nest egg do they need? By the way, the County Commission gave them another $30,000 to pad their bank account.

How nice to see that the pet-food industry now has the Humane Society as their own private puppets. Every cat-mouth kept alive; no matter how much it is suffering to death from becoming road-kill, being poisoned by anything outdoors, dying from exposure, dying from disease, dying from dehydration, dying from animal attacks, etc.; is more money in their pockets. And the now-oxymoronic "humane" society is playing the part of the lock-step fools to ensure all those cats and all the animals that those cats torture to death suffer immeasurably.
How nice.
I know for a fact that the Texans bring cats to Ruidoso and the "forget" to take them home when they leave. Texan's are disgusting human beings.

I think that if you did some indepth research you'd find that the Humane Society is spending lots of money to upgrade & make the shelter safer, healthier & more comfortable for the animals. I don't believe that any funds are wasted.

I have done the research, more than you know.

If they are spending so much money on repairs, then why are they constantly asking for more money?

Look at the bank accounts and tell me that they do not have enough to get things done. Again, by their report to the County they have an excess of funds to the tune of $135,000 this year alone.

Now, you do your home work and see that I am correct.

Some really big things are in the works for the Humane Society and the homeless dogs & cats of Lincoln County will be the benefactors.
If you've done so much research, as you say, you'd know this & know that the volunteers on the Board work diligently and selflessly to do what is best for homeless & neglected animals.

Shame.....Here's a thought for you. If you are so concerned with what is happening at the Humane Society, why don't you go down there & volunteer to do the many jobs that volunteers do, or walk dogs, or even find out what it would take to be on the Board and really see what happens there. Rumors are rampant, and usually not too accurate (especially in Ruidoso, aka Rumordoso). If you got involved you'd see for yourself what's really happening & you'd do the homeless animals a huge favor.

Pisces

Having to bow down to convention or limitations is enough to make you want to scream right now, and you'll do your utmost to rebel in any way you can. Be careful about this because you could easily get on the wrong side of someone who has power or authority over you. It feels as though you're battling with forces that want to keep you under control, and you don't like it one bit.
