WHY EARTIPPING IS THE MOST PROVEN EFFECTIVE METHOD: No other - TopicsExpress



          

WHY EARTIPPING IS THE MOST PROVEN EFFECTIVE METHOD: No other method of identification has proven to be as safe or as effective as eartipping. Alley Cat Allies and other humane groups across the country so DO NOT support the following methods: Tattooing is not effective because the tattoo is not visible until cats are trapped and anesthetized. Eartags are ineffective because they can cause infection, drop off, or tear cats’ ears. Collars are not safe or practical for feral cats, because: as the cats grow and gain weight, the collars will tighten and could strangle them; the collars could get caught on something and severely injure or kill the cats; and the collars could also fall off leaving the cats unidentified. Micro-chipping alone is not effective because it does not allow for visual identification. It is only effective once cats have been trapped and taken to a shelter or clinic that uses a scanner to find implanted microchips. It does not prevent unnecessary trapping. Alley Cat Allies
