These are the only things you should feed a feral cat, in order of preference: - Curiosity (When it becomes available) - 1080 - Eradicat http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/invasive-species/...
Until you understand the problem, perhaps you should avoid killing it.
Clearly they need some Coyotes out there too. When I was at Sun, the 'main' campus early on was at 2550 Garcia ave, (now Intuit) and we would walk around shoreline at Lunch. There were lots of signs to be aware of and not to disturb the burrowing owls (which once was misspelled the borrowing owls and so we had a lot of pan handling owl jokes for a while). When I worked at Google (on Amphitheatre way) there was a cat…
That's a good idea. But still probably unacceptable to cat lovers. Maybe there are middle options. Google could build a very large cage, and release non-adopted cats there. Or if that's not feasible, it could declaw and/or defang them. And yes, I know that those are horrible things to do to cats (or anyone, for that matter). But maybe it's better than death.

Gosh, it's almost like Google is a company 10x the size of John Deere, one used by billions of people (and the great bulk of the NYT's readers). And you might note that this is in the section specifically devoted to covering the technology industry. Do you also object to the Times having that and not an agriculture section?
John Deere has about 66K employees and Google has about 85K. Also, the former literally makes money by altering the environment whereas the latter is generally web-based. I think this is the exact point the OP is talking about: Google seems big because it's bigger by profits. Also, not unrelated, some people here and elsewhere feel more emotional about Google. So take some otherwise small-town public-interest story a…
Do you think the web is some magical place outside of the environment? Google has more servers running than any other company in the world consuming significant amounts of energy.

Do you read your own links? Or do you just spew this information with reckless abandon? You’re promoting blanket killing of innocent animals, and you can’t even get your information right. Until you understand the problem, perhaps you should avoid killing it.

Out of all the organizations that do bad for public policy, you're going after Google. And out of all the things you can get Google for, you're going after the latent heat of their servers?

Cat lovers and bird lovers have been fighting over the restored wetlands on the south side of the bay since the late 70's as far as I can ascertain.

I expect a defanged/declawed cat would not be able to fend for itself and would die through starvation or predation. Cat lovers and bird lovers have been fighting over the restored wetlands on the south side of the bay since the late 70's as far as I can ascertain.

> “Google understands the cats are not supposed to cross the line into the park,” a spokeswoman for the Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority said.
But in the photo, we see a cat heading for a picket fence. So why not build a real fence, which cats can penetrate? Or build a ~1 ha cage?
