The entry of a food dish by children's author Kay Kessing at a cooking competition in Australia, which included a feral cat as one of it's ingredient has drawn a strong reaction by Cat Galaxy an internet radio and TV station for cats in Phoenix. The station which often reads feline related news from around the world on it's live shows was in shock after reading the story from ABC News and also expressed its outrage on the air.
"This is truly a sad piece of news and made us sick to our stomachs! For anyone to be proud of the fact that they cook or kill feral cats is truly disturbing, especially when the person turns out to be the author of children's books. Ms. Kessing should realize that her actions is sending a message to children that it's ok to harm or kill a feral cat. No cat should be killed or harmed, whether they're feral or not. Ms. Kessing should realize that all she's doing is putting cats in even more danger and possibly giving animal abusers an excuse to harm them," said Nohl Rosen of Cat Galaxy.
According to the interview by an ABC Reporter in Australia, when asked about how her dish Kessing said:
"It's a white meat, they vary a lot. The first cat I cooked, didn't have a strong flavour and I put a lot of ingredients with it and that made a beautiful stew. This cat that I've cooked today is a little stronger, it's a slightly larger cat, medium-aged cat probably, and it's got a slightly stronger flavour. But it's not as strong as rabbit."
After reading the report, Cat Galaxy expressed it's anger on the air and also had a very strong message for those thinking of following Kessing's example.
"We hope people are smart enough not to follow her example and do something like this. Feral cats deserve just as much right to live as we humans do, especially since we caused the problem in the first place. Killing them isn't the answer. Having a solid TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) program is the only way to handle the feral cat issue. As long as our station exists, cats whether they're feral or not will always have a voice," Rosen added.
