Ep82 - Cindy Wiemann

Interview! Cindy Wiemann, Treasurer of the National Animal Care and Control Association (NACA) Cindy was instrumental to bringing TNR to the small community of Madison, Georgia. She helped research the appropriate ordinances, and ultimately Madison implemented the first 100% government operated and funded TNR program in Georgia's history. As an animal control officer, she promoted about the great contribution that community cats provide: controlling and managing the rodent population. By using this positioning, she notes, "even people who didn't even like cats began to see the benefit." Cindy discusses the best ways to get animal control and TNR groups on the same page, and the need for productive working relationships: "collaboration will benefit the animals, but fighting among each other doesn't do any good."
