Iowa Town Offers Bounty on Stray Cats
DES MOINES, Iowa - Attention, cat haters: There's money to be made in Randolph, which is offering a $5 bounty for each feral feline turned in.

Those not claimed will be destroyed.

Mayor Vance Trively says that the southwest Iowa town of 200 people is being overrun by dozens of feral cats and needed to do something.

"You can't just let them keep multiplying in town," Trively said Tuesday

1. "You can't just let them keep multiplying in town,"
Yeah, that's why you catch, fix them, and release them. Unless someone's secretly releasing cats into the wild, the population will go down. x(
