- Save our pets, MA, Committee was formed by, Do We or Don't We, Inc., and concerned citizens of Massachusetts who believe there is an urgent need for people to be reintroduced to the true meaning of conservation which is the cornerstone of wildlife management. As a group, we believe in a "responsible management use " of our natural resources for the benefit of both wildlife and society. With this reasonable approach, it will help save our pets, for example:
- Cody, the Yorkshire terrier dog was walking in the back yard, of his home, beside the bushes when a coyote jumped out and snatched Cody at 6:30 am, leaving Cody’s companion shocked as she watched her beloved family member taken away in the jaws of a coyote. A stunning realization of the 1996 Wildlife Protection Act has come into her neighborhood.
- According to reports, the 1996 Wildlife Protection Act is the results of a deceptive advertising campaign put forth, by the MSPCA, The Massachusetts Audubon Society and others after losing a Massachusetts Supreme Court decision. Then, they helped convince voters to stop Massachusetts conservation approach for wildlife management.
Wildlife Whispers...Cats, Coyotes and you

A coyote den was discovered recently while installing a new sewer-line. The den contained 50 cat collars! How many cats entered the den without collars? Was your kitty among them? Who is to blame for the death of these family pets? Surely not the coyote.
Coyotes are predators. Their prey includes rabbits, rats, mice, moles and sometimes cats. Without coyotes we would be over-run with what we consider pest animals.
Cats on the other hand are also predators. Their prey includes mice, rats, moles, squirrels, and thousands of song birds. The difference? Most of their prey are nocturnal, except birds and squirrels, whose numbers are decimated each year by cats.
Coyotes hunt to feed themselves and their off-spring. They hunt at night.
Cats hunt for fun. Most cats are well fed by their human owners. They hunt during daylight and some sleep in warm beds at night. But for the cats who are locked out or allowed to roam, danger awaits them around every bend: Each year cars take their toll on cats. How sad when a child finds their dead pet on the side of a road.
Cats are territorial and will fight defending it. These fights cause infections and other medical concerns. Veterinarian bills mount up. Some owners choose not to seek medical assistance. The cats are left to suffer. Some heal, some don't.
Cats who defecate in neighborhood gardens are frequently abused by home-owners protecting their territories. Cats are often trapped and taken out of their territory and dumped. These cats become strays. Lost and unable to survive, they die...slowly.
Cats unaccustomed to surviving on their own become prey to coyotes. Cats who share a household with dogs and are allowed to run free, become prey to wild dogs, coyotes.
Pitiful signs on mail boxes and telephone poles with promises of rewards will not bring back most cats. Prevention and proper pet care by responsible owners, is the answer.
Feed them. Love them. Keep them safe inside and you'll have years of love returned to you by your cats.
