Cat colonies at Loews hotels in Orlando, Florida, are being trapped and relocated- many to shelters where 100% are being euthanized.

Until recently, feral cats on properties at Universal Studios in Orlando approved of caregivers having the cats neutered and vaccinated through humane TNR programs, and allowed to feed the cats at well maintained feeding stations.

Loews inexplicably reversed their policy and began trapping the cats last week and relocating them t shelters where the cats are euthanized.
Urge Loews to work with Alley Cat Allies and other local advocates to fine-tune an approach that works for staff, guests, and cats alike.

PHOTO OF THE DAY

They might be 6 feet under, but they still won't be caught under a pile of pelts. PETA's "corpses" rose from the dead to haunt Orlando's LaBelle Furs (an oxymoron if I ever heard one).

Since the store is near a courthouse, lawyers and litigants came by all day—but no one defended the cruel fur industry. The verdict is in: Fur is out.

A temporary booth set up in Orlando by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) started to look like a scene from The Jungle Book after the agency gave "amnesty" to people in possession of exotic animals banned under Florida law and agreed to take in the animals and place them in facilities equipped to care for them.

The point of the agency's first Exotic Pet Amnesty Day wasn't to cut illegal animal owners a break—it was to keep owners from simply turning reptiles, turtles, sugar gliders, and other exotic animals loose in the wild, where they would disrupt the local ecosystem and perish slowly and painfully.
