TNR and releasing domesticated animals into the wild are two different things, as is managing a feral cat colony. Releasing domesticated animals into the wild is a bad idea, and this animal rescue group should not be advocating for that. Feeding feral cat colonies is also a bad idea in many cases. However, TNR should not be lumped in with those activities. TNR only involves fixing the cats that are already in the wild population, so that they don't breed. Those cats are already out there. TNR just insures they aren't reproducing. Very different from feeding the colony or introducing pets into the wild.
