Thousands Attend Cat Hunt Meetings
Opponents Say Hunting Cats Won't Help Declining Song Bird Populations

Hundreds showed up at Wisconsin Conservation Congress meetings around the state Monday, many to voice their opinion on a proposal to allow hunting of free-roaming cats.

Outdoor enthusiasts gathered for spring hearings in every county to vote on hunting and fishing through the Wisconsin Conservation Congress. The results get forwarded to the state Natural Resources Board. Statewide results were expected Tuesday. The proposal was one of several dozen part on the agenda of the annual meeting.

About 2,000 showed up in Dane County at the Alliant Center. Cat hunt opponents said that hunting cats is not going to fix any problems with declining song bird populations. "Although feral cats may contribute the problem, the destruction and loss of habitat is far and away the primary reason for the loss of song birds, gamebirds and other birds," on opponent said.
