update of community confliction caused by stray cats over population problem in Hangzhou, China.

[Guest guest]

Dear Diana:

 

The story have been reported for 5 days after the initial joint letter,

people in the community finally achieve agreement with CatsZone that they

will like to try a TNR/cccp/ABC project, this weekend is the first batch of

trap and desex =)

 

At same time CCAPN and CatsZone have finished and released second version

of our guide on effective and humane stray cats' population control, this is

the most comprehensive document to address this problem in Chinese, all

materials, letters we received about this issues are compiled into this

document.

 

I just want say thank you to you and all other friends who send supportive

letters and useful information on this issues to us.

 

Best wishes

Jia
