We were recently contacted by one of our members regarding an urgent
situation in Forsyth
County, GA. We’ve also read several news articles about the situation
and we are asking our members for your help. As I write this, cats are
being trapped and killed by the Army Corps of Engineers in Lake
Lanier's West Bank Park.

The Army Corp posted signs last week warning people not to feed the
cats, because they were going to be removed. The Army Corps says the
cats are a danger to wildlife and visitors of the park.

Our member has been working with the local SPCA and Humane Society
since 2005 on TNRing the cats in the park. She has removed countless
kittens and adoptable cats and sterilized and vaccinated numerous
others. She told me that the Army Corps agreed to meet with her and
the rescue organizations to discuss the situation and possible
solutions. They told her no cats would be trapped until they met;
unfortunately, the Army Corps did not maintain their end of the deal.
Traps were set days before the meeting and thus far, they have been
unwilling to listen to rescue organizations. So far about seven cats
have been trapped.

ACR has tried contacting the Army Corps office via phone, but we have
been unsuccessful. So, we have emailed urging them to reconsider their
position and to sit down with the SPCA and Humane Society to work out
an agreement. It does not make sense for them to be trapping and
killing these cats when most of them have already been TNRed and are
being cared for. Please join us in this fight to save the cats at Lake
Lanier in Georgia. Write to the Army Corps of Engineers and explain to
them that eradication attempts do not work and there is no need to
remove the cats, especially when TNR has so many benefits.
