I just did....Go to the USDA web page, and email the secretary
yourself.....If he gets enough complaints, perhaps he just might stop
harassing those people........

This is what I submitted. I didn't know what exactly to say, so I hope
this helps....
I understand there has been some harassment of feral cats who have lived
at the Hemingway House in Key West for years. The cats are taken care of
by the staff there and are no danger to the people or animals in the
surrounding area. I hope that you will consider ceasing any action
against both the Hemingway House and the cats and stay on track with
real threats to agriculture, food health and other real threats to the
American health and welfare.
Thank you.

I just sent an email to the USDA secretary asking him to take the same
measures against the squirrels on the White House lawn. If the
Hemingway cats are an attraction that should be caged, then so are the
squirrels on the White House lawn. The same situation applies: the
squirrels live there; the tourists visit there; the tourists get a
kick out of handing peanuts to the squirrels; therefore, the White
House needs an animal exhibition license.
Dealing with federal bureaucrats is an exercise in futility.
Virtually every executive agency in the U.S. government is
criminally corrupt. Job one of all federal bureaucrats is
to protect their job. Job two for a federal bureaucrat is
to line their pockets with public funds. I worked several
years for a federal agency. When I would not participate
in the fraud, waste, abuse, and other criminal corruption,
I was targeted as an outcast and for loss of job. When I
complained to the agency inspector general, I discovered
he too was participating in criminally corrupt activities to
fill his personal bank accounts with taxpayer money.
One must realize, unimportant items like harassing the
owners of the Hemingway Museum in Key West are a
way that federal bureaucrats justify their existance. Most
importantly, note how bureaucrats never target someone or
some organization that can fight back The last thing a
federal bureaucrat wants to do is become involved in a
highly visible legal battle. Publicity exposes their criminally
corrupt activities.
Congressmen? Ha, forget it. Involve them, and they will
send you the usual form letter and promptly forget you
exist. Congress itself is full of corruption.

You hit the nail right on the head....Too bad more people don't think like
you (and I) do. Witness the way people were up in arms over using some of
the SS money to invest in the stock market. The idea that some tax money
might actually go into the hands of American businesses instead of being
blown into space, or some other stupid way was abhorrent to all the welfare
puppies....

I just received an email attached PDF from the USDA, putting all the
blame on the Hemingway Home, indicating they have failed to comply and
that some cats have been killed by cars. Heck, Aunt Betty's kitty
down the street could get out and become a pancake in the street.
What about the chickens? USDA claims it has the interests of the cats
in its actions.
