Chicago has released more than 1,000 feral cats onto the streets — hoping to end its long-running ranking as the rat capital of the US.
The “Cats at Work” program came to light after the Windy City was named by pest control company Orkin as the rattiest city for the sixth consecutive year, with the Big Apple third after Los Angeles.
The Tree House Humane Society hopes its program will help replace rats with cats — insisting it is also kind to the felines, which would otherwise face long stays in shelters and often even euthanasia.
“These are feral cats who wouldn’t thrive in a home or shelter environment,” the society insisted of the program, which has run since 2012.
“By placing them in Cats at Work colonies, we’re able to make sure they’re living their best lives,” it said.
While feral, the cats have all been neutered to “create a net positive impact on the small animal population of Chicago,” the society said.
How about putting 1,000 more White Police Officers out on the streets to lock up the BOYS
Maybe throw in a thousand pit bulls to clean up the population. Anti-American insects are worse than rats.
Perceived problem: Chicago has too many rats!
Real problem: Chicago has been run by Dem’s for decades. Has one of the highest murder rates in the country, has no valid industrial market any longer, is rampant with blight and other tax base problems.
Release them in Congress , Plenty of Rats in there !!!!!!
too many feral Democrats
It has the makings of another Willard sequel.
Lets get rid of the feral monkees along with the rats at least the rats are not on EB.T.
That’s better than releasing 1,000 feral thugs from prisons to go back out on the streets and take up where they left off.
