福井大学がキャンパス内の猫の世話を禁止、猫たちの未来は

http://jp.globalvoicesonline.org/2015/05/30/36437/

チャールズ・ジャヌッツイ氏は25年間、彼が勤める大学敷地内に暮らす野良猫の繁殖抑制に取り組んできた。しかし現在、大学側との対立を余儀なくされている。

キャンパス内にいる野良猫への餌やりやその他の世話の一切が禁じられたため、ジャヌッツイ氏はインターネット署名を開始した。その名も「To University of Fukui: Stop starving the cats who live on campus 福井大学に対する嘆願書:キャンパス内の猫を飢えさせるのは止めてください！」、4月24日の時点で2,300以上の署名が集まっている。

University Professor Fights Campus Administration To Keep Cats From Starving

Article on us at Cat Galaxy.

To University of Fukui: Stop starving the cats who live on campus. 福井大学に対する嘆願書:キャンパス内の猫を飢えさせるのは止めてください！

Why this is important

Starving the cats is not a humane solution to the issue of cats on campus. It is not even a solution. The solution is to allow and cooperate with the volunteers who want to finish spaying and neutering the cats. Then the cats can be properly fed and cared for. The ones who are suitable can be adopted. The others will live out their lives and actually keep new cats away from campus.

キャンパス内の猫を飢えさせるのは止めてください！

私は日本の福井市の福井大学の准教授です。福井大学の文京 キャンパスでは、猫たちが小さな集団を作って暮らしています。現在キャンパスには12匹の猫が暮らしていると推測しています。ほとんどの猫はキャンパス内 で生まれましたが、迷子になった猫と捨てられた猫もこの集団に加わっています。

3年前より、工学部の一部の人がキャンパスの一部（南西部の隅）で猫の家族に餌を与えていました。しかし、この猫たちは不妊手術を受けていませんでした。そのため、猫の数は10匹まであっという間に増えました。

過去6か月にわたり、私はキャンパス内およびキャンパスのすぐ南東の近くで暮らすすべての猫に不妊手術を受けさせてきました。不妊手術を受けさせる必要のある猫はまだ3匹残っています。

しかしながら、福井大学は私の活動に反対しています。大学側は私に餌を与えること、不妊手術を受けさせることなど、すべてを止めるよう命令しています。

この問題に対し大学側が提案した解決策は猫を餓死させることです。

こ れは解決法とは言えません。本当の解決法は、すべての猫に不妊手術を受けさせること、猫を迎えてくれる家庭を見つけること、キャンパス内の猫の数を健全な 数に保つことです。キャンパスに残った猫たちが新たな猫がキャンパスに来ることを防いでくれます。多くの学生および大学職員は猫が好きであり、キャンパス で猫を見かけるのを楽しみにしています。大学当局が承認してくだされば、猫の世話をボランティアで引き受けてくれる人も出てくるでしょう。

猫を飢え死にさせることは解決法ではありません。

キャンパス内の猫が生きていけるよう、福井大学にお願いしてください。この嘆願書に署名をお願いします。そしてこの件を他の方と共有してください。

Additional background explanation:

I am an associate professor at the University of Fukui, Fukui City, Japan. The Bunkyo Campus of the university has a small colony of cats on it. I estimate that there are now 12 cats living on campus. Most were born here, but strays and abandoned cats have added to the population.

From three years ago, some people at the College of Engineering were feeding a family of cats in that part of the campus (the southwest corner). But they were not doing spaying or neutering. So the population quickly grew to over 10 cats.

For the past 6 months, I have been spaying and neutering all the cats on campus and also at a near-by colony just southeast of campus. There are still 3 cats that need to be spayed or neutered.

However, the university opposes my activities. They are ordering me to stop feeding, spaying, neutering, everything.

Their proposed solution to the issue is that the cats should starve.

This is not a solution. The solution is to complete the spaying and neutering, find homes for those that are adoptable, and maintain a healthy population on campus. The cats that remain will keep new cats from coming onto campus. Many students and members of the faculty like the cats and enjoy seeing them on campus. Some would volunteer to help take care of the cats if the university administration would approve.

BEST FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Remembering OB, Caramel and Tiger Boy.

Now that it is spring, I'm really missing these three brothers. All three were born on the campus of University of Fukui. Tiger Boy lived only one year before being killed by a car. Caramel lived five years on campus and succumbed to what I think was rat poison (information I only later got from someone who saw him while he was stricken). I brought in the surviving brother, OB, but he passed away from illness on 1 January this year. They are survived by their sister, Maya Girl, whom I found a home for, their mother, Ragi-mama, who lives in my 'cat sanctuary', and Bigwig, their father, who is at Animal Friends Niigata shelter.

I really miss these three handsome guys. Every time I walk across campus I wish they would come jumping out of the bushes to startle me and ask me to play.

OB-kun 2005-2013

We had to say good-bye to a campus favorite, OB-kun, a lovely orange tabby. He joins his brothers Caramel and Tiger Boy across the Rainbow Bridge. He is survived by his mother Ragi-mama, his sister, Maya Girl, and (in the second photo), his cousin Shaun.

Pongo, Tama-mama and Sebastien having dinner

Tama-mama is doing well

Momo is back too

Pongo is back in the office

Here is Ricky

Ricky was rescued after Mel but before Ricky and Tama. He is FIV+ but very tame and right now in good health. He has an excellent appetite.  

Cliff and Sebastien

Meet Tama-chan, the latest rescue

Tama has joined Sebastien and Cliff in the office, at least for now. She is much better than last week, when she was caught and taken to the hospital. She had to have a bad tooth extracted, but her mouth has been treated and she can eat well now. She is a bit nervous in her new home, but she is tame and let me pet her. She is FIV+ but has good appetite. She needs to rest and get a nutritious diet to build up her strength.  

MEET CLIFF (WAS LILLY)

CLIFF

When he was found, this was the note I wrote:

---------------------------------------------------------------

This is Cliff,  the new rescue. He was emaciated and yesterday was dehydrated as well. He also appears to have been injured on her face--perhaps hit by a car. He got some injections and an IV drip yesterday, and today he has been eating a lot of food--canned food that is high in nutrition and water--and resting in this cage (but he can enter and leave the cage as he wants, to visit the litter box or his food and water). Thanks go to Galina Hristoskova Shimo of the University of Fukui for finding him (on the south boundary of campus).

----------------------------------------------------------------

The photos below are of Cliff five months later, all healthy. 

Weatherproof and warm cat shelters from storage chests.

How Sheba, Gus, Buddy and Willy survived a long, cold winter (and Tonio and Richie too). These really work well. This type of chest keeps them dry, and the carpet tile lining and Styrofoam keep them warm. These are camouflaged so as not to draw attention to them. When up against buildings, I can also paint them the color of the buildings--such as sand color.The ones in back of this building have been painted to match the color of the building.

Mel: OK, now that I'm out I might as well eat dinner.

Feral Cats of Fukui / 福井の地域猫 shared Charles Jannuzi's photo.

Mel, the latest rescue, is an orange-and-white male about 3 years old. His injured left front leg has about healed and he is limping only a little now. Good eating habits. Good litter habits. Starting to groom now too. He will go back to the vet after the Golden Week holidays for neutering, vaccination and FIV/FeLV diagnostic. 

Some 'furniture' for the cats at the house

I plan to buy 'climbing towers' for all three groups of cats at the house--so one for OB-kun, Shaun and Ragi-mama, another for Sheba, Gus and Buddy, and a third one for Bootsie-mama, Pancho and Tiger Baby. But until then, the cats enjoy climbing on, sleeping and hiding in, and scratching away at these homemade cardboard box things.

MEET MEL--THE LATEST FCF RESCUE

 

Meet Mel. Mel got injured this weekend, so I caught him and took him to the vet. Will update on Monday. Mel is a lovely orange and white cat. He had been living as an indoor-outdoor cat, but the human in his life got ill and was forced to move into a nursing home, so Mel was abandoned.

You can't see him very well through the plastic case, but he is a very handsome orange and white. He was born around the same time as Babe and Sebastien, which puts him at three years this spring. I wonder if any of them are related to each other? Meet Mel. Mel got injured this weekend, so I caught him and took him to the vet. Will update on Monday. Mel is a lovely orange and white cat.
