Thanks for this interview with John.
I wish people would become more aware what type of dogma they bought in.
Unfortunately dogtraining is not regulated and therefore everyone can do what ones wants.
The misinterpretation of outdated statements and researches from early 1900, or not understanding canine familiaris behavior….
thanks again for this interview.

REPEATING MY REPLY TO YOUR OTHER COMMENT: Hello Maria…I think you may be a bit confused here: John Bradshaw was a past guest on “Talking Animals”–when his dog book was out–but has not been on again, since his new cat book was published. You heard him on “Fresh Air” with Terry Gross. So I’m afraid your comments intended for him aren’t going to reach him, or be read by him. You may want to try offering your comments on the “Fresh Air” web site. Thanks

THANK YOU so much for your comments on De-clawing and for educating Terry Gross on the cruelty issue. Wow – some people are so clueless!

Hello — at one point in the Terry Gross interview you said feeding ferals was a faulty way to control their population and that they are dangerous to birds. It seemed you slightly changed that opinion in the middle of the interview. I want to give you my opinion on FERALS.
These cats are abandoned and cannot fend for themselves. TNR (Trap, Neuter,Release) is a humane “program” that millions of caring people undertake to help these animals and the general public. They are trapped, fixed, and then returned to their home turf to be fed throughout the rest of their lives. This keeps the ferals from hunting birds, as opposed to his idea that feeding encourages them to hunt; that’s just not true. What would you do with ferals?? Would you trap and kill them? Studies show that TNR is the most effective and humane way to control feral populations. Please emphasize the GOOD work the volunteers do because we often encounter many uninformed people who are hostile because they don’t understand or they just don’t care about animals. We (as many groups around the world I’m sure) spend our own money and time on this and do it out of empathy. Thank you.
