I knew I had fans out there, but never imagined there were so many and with such strong feelings. Your support went as viral as the emails from Alley Cat Allies. I was touched and humbled. Thanks so much my friends."Matt Millerhttp://blog.nature.org/science/author/mmiller/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-58421514084786362222013-03-26T19:22:59.927-07:002013-03-26T19:22:59.927-07:00my hispanic father in law had a 6 inch pipe entren...my hispanic father in law had a 6 inch pipe entrenched in the ground in his back yard. the purpose of the pipe was to shove gatos machos in the tube so they couldn't claw him while he castrated them. altho they still roamed around probably eating songbirds, at least there was some reduction in the numbers of gatos wantonly killing birds, lizards and othr critters of the sonoran desert....and my small animal veterinarian describes these cat lovers who argue they should run loose as "humaniacs"....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-46901588694482153962013-03-26T17:02:25.725-07:002013-03-26T17:02:25.725-07:00I am thankful to Matt for the update.

Though I am not an avid reader of the magazine, I have flipped through several pages when they are available in the waiting room. Points of view are not meant to have total agreement. They wouldn't make for much discussion if they did. No discussion = being forgotten about soon enough. When a point of view is backed with data, it makes it harder to dispute, but it still leaves the table open to discussion. But when any organization panders to loud-mouthed whiners simply to avoid confrontation, the message they are sending is that they are not willing to stand up for their beliefs and would rather trample the process by which people communicate and learn than to have to answer to some [often minute and meaningless] group. Cowardice, laziness, no matter what you call it, it has no place in any organization.

His column is usually the only thing worth reading in that magazine.<br /><br />Backcountry Hunters & Anglers is a great organization. I attended their annual conference this weekend and used to edit their magazine.

Not even feral dogs get this kind of blind sympathy--certainly not feral pigs, cattle, goats, or many types of birds. I guess the exception is feral horses--and included in that would be donkeys, of course. So feral "equines" DO get people riled up and polarized. Very interesting. I personally love them all, and believe in "live-and-let-live" Except when I get hungry.....L.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
