So he pursued it.<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton\u2019s fourth article on the subject\u2014\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/07352166.2020.1742577\">Managing free-roaming cats in U.S. cities: An object lesson in public policy and citizen action<\/a>,\u201d co-authored with Peter Wolf, a research\/policy analyst for the <a href=\"https:\/\/bestfriends.org\/\">national animal welfare organization Best Friends<\/a>\u2014appeared in the May 2020 issue of the <em>Journal of Urban Affairs<\/em>, a peer-reviewed scholarly publication targeted at public officials and policymakers.<\/p>\n<p>For nearly two years, Hamilton and Wolf pored over municipal data and reports from around the world to try to understand the true cost of each approach to managing cat populations: annihilation, trap-and-kill, trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR), and doing nothing. Research revealed that annihilation and trap-and-kill are costly solutions with little support from the populace. For instance, it took almost 19 years to annihilate cats from an uninhabited Australian island, a project undertaken to preserve the bird population there to appease wildlife biologists. \u201cYou know what happened? The mouse population on the island exploded and the birds kept dying. The mice were eating the eggs in the nest,\u201d Hamilton explained.<\/p>\n<p>Urban areas don\u2019t choose annihilation because of its adverse public opinion and the possibility of unintentional pet deaths in the process. In the past, they have chosen trap and kill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCities and counties hire people to trap and kill animals, and that sort of work wears on people, so the turnover is high,\u201d Hamilton explained. \u201cWith trap-neuter-vaccinate-and-return programs, there are organizations that will offer funding to governments to pay for the cost of surgeries, and citizens will volunteer to help run them. There is no similar public support for kill shelters.\u201d TNVR has published peer reviewed research supporting the effectiveness of this method.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;32&#8243; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-5-percent&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;left-right&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; el_class=&#8221;lg_text&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span class=\"accent-color\">Hamilton has employed student researchers in his work in the past, training Eckerd students of all disciplines how to analyze municipal budgets and find obscure data in far-flung places.
