Hawaiian (In)humane Society tried to trap and kill their way out around 2000. They got a hundred traps and loaned them out, then saw a population increase in 6 months and ended up not getting a lot of traps back. What's being proposed is going on a killing spree, criminalizing little old ladies, only to find the problem will get even worse. It's a tough realization but the only answer is to actually implement and support TNR with a new no-kill animal control contractor, and as long as their board of directors and rich friends write big checks to the mayors, that ain't gonna happen.
