サマリーでしました通り、アメリカ合衆国シカゴ市ではネズミの害がひどく、その対策のためにアニマルシェルターと民間が不妊去勢し、ワクチン接種した猫を市内でリリース(つまり「TNR」です)することにしました。この活動は2012年から始まり、1,000匹程度の猫が放されています。しかし有害動物駆除会社の調査によれば、シカゴ市はニューヨークやロサンゼルス市を抜いて、6年連続でアメリカ合衆国内で最もネズミ類の被害がひどい都市ということが判明しました。つまり、日本の猫愛誤さんが主張している、「野良猫外猫はネズミ駆除効果がある」は全くの嘘ということになります。 それを報じるニュースから引用します。Shelter releases 1,000 feral cats on to Chicago streets to combat rat crisis 「アニマルシェルターは、ネズミの危機と戦うためにシカゴの路上に1,000匹の野良猫をリリースしました」 2021年5月14日
For the sixth consecutive year Chicago was named the ‘rattiest city’ in a poll conducted by Orkin, a US pest control company. An animal shelter in Chicago has released 1,000 feral cats throughout the city to combat a rat crisis. The initiative places two to three cats, all spayed, neutered and vaccinated, outside of residences and businesses to sustainably deal with Chicago’s rodent problem. The popular program currently has a “long waitlist”, as stated on its website. About 1,000 cats have now been released since 2012, as reported by WGN9, a local media station. For the sixth consecutive year Chicago has beaten out major cities like Los Angeles and New York to be named the “rattiest city” in a poll conducted by Orkin, an American pest control company.
