lt;P>“Cats and Conservationists provides a fascinating look at how social conflicts arise and become entrenched. People on all sides of the outdoor cat problem are extremely passionate about their respective positions—kill them all, kill some, trap, sterilize, and release them, or leave them alone—and Dara M. Wald and Anna L. Peterson clearly show how these polarized and often personalized debates require us to carefully study not only how science is done, but also to come to an understanding of how people use and misuse scientific data and the social implications of these practices. While the ecological role and fate of outdoor cats continue to be a hot topic, so too are questions about humans’ place in nature and what nature really means. This refreshing look at the outdoor cat problem makes it clear that both the data side and the social side of science need to be given equal consideration, and that people can strongly disagree about how to deal with problems we originally caused and from which we often casually stroll away as if we are the perfect animals.”
