To be honest I was really impressed that the government agreed to the TNR program. It took a fair amount of discussion and visits from the WSPA team but they went from dead set against it to really responsive in a short amount of time!
They even welcomed over the WSPA team to teach them the newest methods of neutering cats at low cost specifically for TNR programs. It is a little rougher then how the private vets perform neuterings on our beloved pets but they get the job done and QAWS recommends the TNR program to anyone who calls us about stray cat population problems they have in their area.
The TNR program is the one occasion when they will euthanise as they are trying to create a healthy population of cats. Again though they use different methods and medications to the private vets.
