Cat owners urged to keep cultured kittys at home; feral cat trapping ramps up

But more importantly, the stray cats are wiping out native Keys species like the Key Largo woodrat, Dixon said, a species found only in the Crocodile Lake refuge.
Responding to complaints from outdoor cat owners upset about a cat trapping program implanted last year, Dixon said the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has reached out to them and offered to help build outdoor enclosures, known as “catios.” He also said that remote cameras the FWS set up within the refuge show cats roaming the area at night and hunting.
“We didn’t know how much of an issue this was until we started using the remote cameras,” he said.
Cat owner and dive-shop owner Spencer Slate, who lives across State Road 905 from the refuge, said his cats have been trapped in a wooded lot adjacent to his house, which is not in the refuge.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE BLACK BANDIT?

An armed robber has been operating with impunity and holding up victims as they walked in parking lots of various businesses in Lexington Park and California. Either the Sheriff’s Department doesn’t know where these robberies took place or perhaps they simply forgot to include the information.

Will KKK leader get to meet any nice black guys in prison?

When questioned by local investigators, Dinkle falsely denied his involvement in the incident and said that he had resigned his office and withdrawn from the KKK months before the cross burning. When approached by the FBI, Dinkle again lied and told a special agent that he had been at home with his girlfriend when the cross burning occurred. He further claimed that he did not know a person who was, in fact, one of his superiors in the KKK at the time of the cross burning.
