etcetera over time—and we want to make sure that we're communicating well with this <br /> group to teach them about what they need to look for in those circumstances. <br /> TWC: But, again, the reason why I have that concern is because I would rather have somebody <br /> that takes the training in being involved with the whole project, rather than just having <br /> community— because like this—only off the subject a little bit with—it's like saying— <br /> that feeding feral pigs is a problem as well, right, a lot of the guys [unclear] is actually <br /> hunter gatherers they setting themselves up to later catch these animals but it's almost <br /> like saying welcome, you know, welcome something like the hunters would feel —that's <br /> this way— I'm looking at [unclear] for me—as a hunter/gatherer myself, we cannot do <br /> the whole feeding process to set ourselves up, right, that's the rule get fined and stuff so <br /> it's almost like what if I was a hunter, right, um, come up and they like, OK, do you guys <br /> want to do this for feral cats why can't the hunters go and take the training on properly <br /> feeding these feral animals and then,just doing that, so that's why I said like, I don't <br /> think it should be welcome to anybody in the public, it should be actually welcome to <br /> only people in the whole project management and then they're gonna be hands on <br /> involved, that way... <br /> LL: Yeah, I do I agree with that. <br /> TWC: Yeah, that's all I'm saying. <br /> LL: That's a good point. <br /> RD: Chair, District 1, Duerr—where we are a game management advisory commission and <br /> essentially our inter-action with cats, as far as what you're talking about would be <br /> fishers on the shoreline and are there any negative impacts—if you have any of that <br /> information that you could get to the County would be great. The other thing is the <br /> major impact with feral cats— not community cats—with game management is with <br /> birds—if you have any information on like how to get a census of a population in the <br /> wild— how to maintain getting a feral population under control for wildlife—any of that <br /> information you have would be helpful. <br /> LL: OK. Yeah, we can put together a little bit more extensive information—that meeting I'm <br /> gonna have with Jordan — he's really well versed in tracking and there's a couple of <br /> different tools out there that we're exploring using for this, one of which is sort of like <br /> an app on your phone so hunters who are out there who may encounter feral cat <br /> populations that are not in well-traveled areas—this is something we'd love to do an <br /> education presentation on and how they can submit that information, so that we can <br /> begin to manage those. I think first we're probably gonna be focused on the more <br /> urban environments, the parks and the wetlands, but then my understanding is there <br /> are some populations of truly feral cats in some of the remote areas and I personally <br /> have not explored those yet, but, am welcome to learning about them so that we can <br /> figure out the best path forward for those. <br /> 17 <br />
