To combat this
issue, Best Friends Animal Society has been promoting the month of November as «Back in Black,» with many
shelters around the country
discounting adoption fees for their black animals.
According to the allegations in the complaint, the Department then supported TNR, including
discounting spay / neuter operations for feral cats, supporting new feral cat colonies on city property that used TNR, refusing to accept feral cats at city animal
shelters, refusing to
issue permits to trap feral cats that would be killed, and generally promoting TNR programs.
